Today we met another `doctor'; a woman. We discussed about Iman's improvement; focussing better, more vocal, no spinning ( at least for the last 2 days), no hand flapping and responding to instruction better. Today I watched Iman did her block stacking... you know what? She didn't do it perfectly ... yeah... that's not one of the autistic characteristic isn't it ?? Actually, she never did stack anything `perfectly' not even once ! But, I could see her improved in her patience in doing the stacking. Yeah, we saw improvement in her... relieved ? ...thank God...
I had a nice chat with the lady doctor...may be because she is a woman (or may be being a mother herself?) so that she listened more to what I said ? We decided to take Iman' medicine supply for 2 weeks so that we don't have to travel every week. We also asked for Iman's runny nose medicine.
From what I had brief the doctor about Iman' history, she believed that Iman's case was not serious/severe and she was positive that Iman will be cured soon. She did tell me about few cases they treated successfully before - within 6 months to one year - cured
Looking at Iman's behavior today, she behaved better compared to the first visit - she didn't throw away the rubics cube she took from the doctor desk, she didn't pick up and throw the doctor's weighing scale apparatus (bought from IKEA ! the tag ?)... overall she was behaving well. Was that a sign that Iman is improving ?? I really hope so.
Iman... umi never stop praying that you will be okay soon. I really missed the happy chatty Iman I used to know before.

The medicine; the same as the last week (changed from small white tablet to orange in color and bigger size tablet because Iman didn't like the small white one)
