Many know my family‘s health issues of the last 23 years. I’ve never spoken much about my grandson, who is diagnosed with Authism. Chandler, at the age of three, was not progressing as normal three-year-old (whatever that is ) but we began looking into “normal” health channels, but we were also were looking into functional medicine as another way to help him.
About five years ago I met Katie Tolley NP at a Lyme meeting. She spoke about children and Tick Borne Illness. Katie and I spoke at the end of the meeting; we talked about Chandler and his struggles. She gave me a few suggestions. I explained those suggestions to my son and his wife Molly. Molly began using the suggestions for Chandler and within nine months Chandler was making a lot of progress! Even the doctors at the University of Maryland that were treating Chandler, told Molly to keep doing things the way she was because Chandler was doing really really well.
Today Chandler is thriving in public school as a second grader. His verbal skills improve every day. Chandler has a heart of gold and I’m proud of him and his parents. I’m grateful for Katie Tolley NP. She shared some of her knowledge with me that evening. Now my dream of many years is to help parents with special needs children find hope close to home. A few months ago a mutual friend of Katie’s and mine introduced us again. I explained my passion and Katie explained hers to me. I would love to do the same with all of you!
There is a Meet and Greet with Katie Tolley, NP on Saturday, April 6th, at Community Farmacy. https://www.facebook.com/events/957852005869954?ref=newsfeed
Thank you God for this blessing, and I hope to see you all there!
