After giving Nicholas a dose of Olive Leaf Extract last night, he’s a different kid today.  By far, a different kid from the one I saw yesterday. 

 I got him to bed with no problem last night – he was out in 10 minutes flat (maybe even 5!) – and this morning woke at an un-characteristically 7:30am instead of 9:30.  He’s napping now, since he was up so early, but it has been a pleasant day so far with him – and I’ve gotta say, the last couple of weeks have really been hell for me with the way he was acting.

He sat on the couch with me and ate an apple, which he loves, but isn’t allowed to have because of the phenol issue – but he wanted one and he loves them, so I caved (and followed it with a no-fenol) – and he was just adorable.  As he was eating his 2nd or 3rd slice, his face under his lips and above his chin started getting red splotches all over it. 

I don’t see any obsessive, repetative behavior so far today, like I was beginning to see.  And, we’ve never really seen it before, so it was starting to freak me out.

 He woke up this morning with a red-eye.  his eyeball wasn’t red, but the skin around his eye was bright red.  It was gone a few hours later, but it was odd.  Like he had a black eye, except replace black with red.

I’ll update more later……..
