His diet has really kicked in

UPDATE 02/11/2004: Well Ben is doing good. His diet has really kicked in and he doing really great things now. We are getting lots of good communication from him and are demanding that he use his language to get what he wants. He is requesting (going and grabbing his brother and pulling him down the hallway) Joseph go play (jump on the bed) with him. He will also come get Kelly (she is the young woman that is his attendant) to go play with him. He will grab her arm and drag her down the hall and say more Hee-Haw! He loves for me to play hide and seek with him. He is requesting specific foods and drinks now and each time we demand a verbal request so he will understand that is what language is for. He is doing great and we are just starting a new type of therapy called ABA, so I am hoping we will get more great things from that. I want to thank everyone that keeps Ben in their prayers and all these folks on this page.
