Please Read This...

To our wonderful doctors, teachers and therapists who are helping us find answers. This blog was started as a class project for Nathan to help increase communication with his teacher about his life. The entries quickly ended as Nathan seemed to change in the course of a week.

The following are things that we noticed beginning the end of November 2009. Many things came suddenly.

Loss of handwriting (left hand)
Inability to take spelling tests. First written and then soon unable to take with letter tiles.
Continual sucking on nonfood items. Even the shopping cart as he walked next to it.
Uncontrollable laughing. Often accompanied with silent tears.
Inability to fall asleep, after years of an 8:30 bedtime.
Talking out of side of mouth. (has had tendency in the past, but more extreme)
Loss of language. (Recently increasingly difficult to answer yes no questions, even with prompting.)
Inability to repeat spoken words.
Currently he makes continual noise and has trouble forming the few words he has left.

I am sure I am forgetting some...

The following videos should be viewed in chronological order so the regression can be seen.
Thank you.
