How I Make Meals on the Go

Some of what I have personally decided my girl cannot eat and why (without being technical...basically these ingredients were found to be toxic to developing brains and or are GMO or are just not good for anyone.) Instead of listing all references at the moment I am going to give this in a nutshell.

Gluten 
Aspartame
MSG
High Fructose Corn Syrup
Corn
Dairy
Tomatoes, potatoes, eggplants, (any nightshade family vegetable)
Unripe bananas
Oranges (too much acid for now)

Some of what she CAN and does eat (again my personal choice based on research) (mostly brain building ingredients and supplements are given)

Eggs
Organic chicken
Fresh fish
Squash-all kinds
Organic fruits-apples, strawberries, etc. 


Thanks to this wonderful little device I can puree meals for her on the go for less!



I love it!

Since she can eat soft small chunks, she sometimes does get food in this way. Blending it allows me to add some vitamins and is good for when we are on long trips to doctors or things like that. This girl eats a lot!

Some Equipment Options

Welcome newcomers and thank you for joining us! This blog started a few years back to talk about Sienna's experiences with Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy. She had a lot of progress which is still present today. In other words she did not have any regression after treatment.
Now a few years later, I have continued to get a lot of continued progress through other means due to the high cost of HBOT although I would love to someday get more of this treatment for her.

So for now I will talk about her day-to-day life, share tips and "hacks" I have come across and share her progress.

I will travel back in time a bit today since it has been so long (busy, busy!)

In August of 2013, Sienna started a pre-school program where she made tons of friends and I just loved and adored her teachers. It was difficult for me to leave her in someone else's care but she was in good hands.

During the school year they used a Rifton Dynamic stander for her. This is what it looks like.

The purpose is to have them in a full standing position which stretches them and the wheelchair wheels give them mobility!

Here is Sienna when she was younger in her walker. 


What a proud moment this was! Now she will walk back and forth however she needs to be turned around when she runs into the wall, couch etc. but practice is practice!!
