Started Living Streams Probiotic today

You’re supposed to start with 2 drops daily for the first 3 days, but I started at one drop for the first 3 days.

Strength and mHBOT

Nicholas weighs 63-64 pounds now (and he’s just over 4 years old) – quite a difference from the 43 pounds he weighed prior to hbot and 54 pounds he weighed after two and a half months of hbot. He’s solid and very, very strong. Halloween of 2007, we bought him a 2/3T costume, this past halloween, I bought him a size 7. When I compare then and now shots of him, he looked frail and little back then, even though he never seemed it at the time – to us anyway. Amazing the effect of a little mild hbot can have on a child.

Whether it was that the hbot helped with inflammation or absorption (of foods/supplements), we’re really not sure.

On another note, I do suspect Nicholas also has esophageal inflammation which was causing his sudden vomiting. A few days of hbot (after breaks) stops this completely. Prior to starting hbot this past May, Nicholas was throwing up regularly. It would not make a difference what he ate, he would throw everything up he just ate and then want to continue eating (the exact same food) and then he’d be fine. Enzymes had no effect on this vomiting, and since he would finish his meal with no issue, I do not believe it was the actual food – because there was no rhyme or reason as to when he would throw up.

Another round finished….

Started Enhansa today

We started Enhansa today – 75mg 2x per day every other day to start with.

Update: December 16, 2008: I was waiting to post a follow up on starting this supplement because I didn’t want to post half the story so to speak. We went through about a week of die-off. I believe the die-off was prolonged, because I had read somewhere that to start, the dose is every other day – this is not correct. The initial dose is 75mg 2x per day to start. By doing it every other day, I was just prolonging the agony.
Whatever it does, it does really well. Nicholas is doing really well on it (once we got past the die off) and I’m looking forward to increasing his dose, but I’m not doing that until after Christmas.
I did drop the GSE he was getting (24 drops per day) a few days into the Enhansa. We made it through the die-off and I’m not seeing losses since dropping the GSE, so I’m keeping my fingers crossed.

The History of Thimerosal and Autism

This timeline is truly a must read. Oh yeah, and don’t forget to read through the posted comments as well. Well done, Ginger… as always.

Aaachhooo… Bless You Mommy

The past 3 or 4 days, I’ve been battling a cold, so sneezing is bound to happen. Whenever Nicholas is in earshot of me sneezing, he always runs over with a “Bless You Mommy” – it’s just amazing to me that he gets this, and I couldn’t be happier. When he sneezes and I say “bless you” he says “thank you” – just amazing.

Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree

Last night we were decorating our Christmas tree, I should say Nicholas was decorating the tree. He was having such a blast hanging the ornaments – and on several occasions even began singing “Oh Christmas Tree” which shocked us both. He definately had the melody right and we could understand ‘O Christmas Tree’ but the words after that were blended into the melody.

To hear my son sing a song and completely unpromted was just unbelievable.
