More improvements with ABM

So, one week after Melanie's 80-minute seizure, she was still not quite herself. She was not talking very much, and her mood was rather deflated. She was still sort of weak, wobbley and tremory...  Then Nick took her for her next ABM lesson.  When she came back in the house from her 30-minute lesson, I instantly saw our usual happy, chatty Melanie.  No doubt it was the ABM that caused that instantaneous change.  For the rest of the week, she was chatting up a storm non-stop, in a great mood and moving a little stronger.

She's still healthy and doing well. Nothing much to report, which is always nice. :-)

Last week during spring break, we had an opportunity to travel a couple hours north to a book festival, where we heard Anat Baniel give a book talk on her new book about ABM for special needs children.  We met her, had her sign our two books, and got a picture with her.  Melanie was low on sleep and beyond her melting point, so in the picture she looks rather bleary. James was tired of being there, so his face shows exactly how he felt about being there so long... 
I'm so thankful we had that experience, and her new book is fantastic!  I highly recommend it!   http://www.amazon.com/Kids-Beyond-Limits-Awakening-Transforming/dp/0399537368/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1334859870&sr=8-1
