Day 1 to Day 12

I am going to pretty much sum up the first 12 days of the programme here and then as we move on I will blog every couple of days.
We started on a Friday and after 3 days Billee started to get a temperature.
She had the temperature Sunday, Monday and Tuesday nights. We took her to the Emergency Department of our local hospital on Tuesday night as panadol wasn't helping any more.
She ended up spending a couple of days in the Childrens Ward as she had an ear infection along with the temperature and was started on antibiotics.

Claudie pre warned us that she would have a short stormy period before things improved so we were not too surprised.
By day 7 things were back on track.
We have been doing MAPS 1 twice a day, smell and claw 2 hourly and ice, smell and claw also 2 hourly.
We have also been putting the smell on Billee's pillow when she sleeps and listening to classical music in 10 minute segments throughout the day.
Billee sleeps as and when she needs to as this is when the brain repairs itself.

We are now up to day 12 and I would say the follwing remarks about Billee which may or may not be due to the MAPS programme:
Almost every time Billee smells the strawberry scent she moves her lips and seems to swallow.
She is babbling lots, actually shouting.
She is smiling lots and laughing.
Her visual aid commented today that she was very good at moving her arms up and down when prompted to by her during a song.
She is moving her legs and arms alot and touching her hair with her right hand more.
Billee is putting her left thumb in her mouth. Previously she only put her left hand on her mouth.

As we move forward I will record things in more detail.
