January 1st, 2009 Mom I increased Nicholas’s dose of inositol from 2 scoops (1 gram) to 3 scoops (1 1/2 grams).
I wanted to try this last week – I read about adding inositol to deal with OCD and wanted to try increasing Nicholas’s dose to see if it got rid of his current water obsession – and totally forgot about it after I fell asleep. (this is why I blog and write so much down!) A reply to my question on a newsgroup sparked doing it again – so I increased his dose.
January 1st, 2009 Mom I put Nicholas back on Claritin today and he had a fantastic day. I had taken him off for a few weeks to see how his allergies were doing and he really still does need it. Last year, 2007, he only needed it for a month or so, and this time, he’s been on it continuously since April or May 2008.
December 31st, 2008 Mom Nicholas’s tummy seems to be a little less bloated the past few days. A shirt which was way too tight on him a week ago is now fitting him just fine. I have to start measuring him again so I can keep track. But there is a noticable difference that it has gone down quite a bit.
December 31st, 2008 Mom Ever since we started the Enhansa, Nicholas’s receptive language has greatly diminished. He’s making great progress in other areas, but I feel like he’s “ignoring” me when I am talking to him – and when I “think” he is paying attention, I really dont think he’s retained one word of what I have said. He was doing fabulous in this area, so this is a bit disheartening – but they say, Enhansa can cause a healing regression – and if it’s helping, we’re willing to push through and endure this for a while.
I’m thinking about increasing his dose back to 150mg per day starting on January 5th. It all depends on how he does on the new acetyl-l-carnitine that I just ordered goes.
December 31st, 2008 Mom Nicholas has never been one to get on the phone and talk or even listen. Daddy just made Nicholas’s phone in his new little kitchen ring. Nicholas picked up and this is what he said – much to our amazement or should I say, shock!
“Hello, this is Nicholas, I’m here with daddy” and a stream of other words we could not quite understand.
Going back to play kitchen, just wanted to note this before I forgot exactly what he said.
December 30th, 2008 Mom So, I took the plunge today and bought a juicer, well, Santa technically bought it for me – I just went and picked it up. 🙂 Yes, I still believe in Santa. I’ve been reading alot about juicing and the health benefits from juicing raw fruits and vegetables that I really want to give it a try – for all of us, not just Nicholas. However, the number one reason to do this was to get more vegetables into him!
So, off I go to find some good starter recipies – that taste good. Although, with the crappy taste that his supplement drinks have, I think anything remotely palatable would be an improvement.
December 30th, 2008 Mom I almost forgot to write about this…. but just more supporting details that Nicholas finally got Christmas and the festivities surrounding the holidays this year…
We baked cookies, we decorated the Christmas Tree, we decorated the house with Christmas lights, we watched Christmas specials, the Walt Disney Christmas Day parade….. and there’s more…. oh so much more…
Right after Thanksgiving, we went out and purchased a new Christmas tree. We really had no choice this year as some new furniture made it impossible to use our tree ever again. So, we put up the tree and Nicholas helped decorate it. And not just one ornament – he was hanging one ornament after another and another. He even looked at the tree and started singing “O Christmas Tree” – we were in shock.
Well, Mommy wasn’t all that happy with the way this tree looked with our ornaments, so we decided to return it, buy a real tree this year and worry about it next year. Nicholas came home from school and the tree was gone. He was shocked not to see the tree there – and kept asking where the tree was. He was thrilled when Daddy brought the new tree in – and he was more than eager to help us decorate the tree once again.
In the midst of the tree debacle, the Christmas shows are starting to play on the major stations. Nicholas watched Rudolf – I cannot tell you how many times. We watched Shrek the Halls a few times – and there were others… I cannot convey how much I enjoyed FINALLY getting to watch these Christmas shows with my son. and he loved them. And he knows who Charlie Brown and Snoopy are – and we watched this Christmas show too – and he loved it. I thought he’d be bored with all of these, but he loved them.
Daddy decorated the outside of the house with white and colored lights, three reindeer of varying heights who moved like they were flying. Nicholas was in absolute delight watching them from the diningroom window. A couple of weeks ago, we added an inflatable Santa Mickey to our collection – and if that Mickey was not inflated when Nicholas got home from school, we heard about it! 🙂
A few days ago, we broke out the cookie dough and made Christmas cookies. Nicholas (and his cookie cutters) were all in. We cut out trains and stockings, snowmen and candy canes. He had a blast. and has asked me several times when we were going to make more cookies. Funny thing was, he wouldn’t eat them. He loved using his rolling pin to roll out the dough, put flour on it, cut out his shapes and put the tray in the oven. He checked the oven several times to watch them cooking – and then was SO excited when it was time for them to come out. He would not even take a bite. So funny.
Christmas Day, I DVR’d the Walt Disney Christmas Day Parade. I love to watch them (when I have the power to fast forward) – and he sat and watched quite a bit of it with me. He was in awe over the Disney Characters, floats and such. I still have it recorded, we may just watch it again.
At Nicholas’s Christmas party at school, he handed out his gifts to his teachers – telling each one Merry Christmas as he handed them their present. Then giving each one an umprompted hug and kiss.
He knew Santa was bringing presents and talked about putting cookies and milk out for him. (Oops, mom forgot to prompt this when we got home late on Christmas eve)
I’ll add more as it comes to mind…..
December 29th, 2008 Mom Well, it’s official. Our home is microwave-free. Just another step towards a healthier life for us and Nicholas.
I have been disliking microwaves for quite some time now – and have been waiting to toss it until I could afford to spend some extra money on a new toaster oven – and since the Santas in my life were quite generous this year 🙂 – I just picked this up from Williams Sonoma (along with my new juicer – but I’ll save that for another thread!)

I’m going to come back and add the info on Microwaves I found when I have a chance. I couldn’t even read through it all, it just made me ill.
