Nicholas is again saying more things we’ve never heard before — and is getting to be quite conversational. We’re not there yet, but I can hold a back and forth with him and actually get real answers. Last night, we went for a ride in the car — he said, “mommy, where are we going?” […]

Round 20: Complete
February 2nd, 2009 
Mom 20 rounds down…… Time has flown by. Nicholas just gets better and better and better. This, by far, has been the most rewarding biomedical intervention yet. (and the cheapest!) – When we first started biomed, the gains were slow in coming. If I compared his progress of today versus when we first started – it […]
Change is in the air…
February 2nd, 2009 Mom Nicholas was sick last week, but was much better so we went ahead and chelated this weekend. I cannot believe the language coming out of him — the complete (and correct!) sentences are flooring us. We’re in the middle of round 20. Earlier today, his grandmother went upstairs to get a toy for him – […]
The cold bug bit Nicholas
January 26th, 2009 Mom Ug! Nicholas started getting a cold yesterday right along with the rest of us. Poor thing keeps telling us his tongue hurts when really trying to tell us he has a sore throat. He keeps wanting band-aids for it.
Skipping chelation this weekend
January 23rd, 2009 Mom Just taking a break…. I need some sleep! 🙂
Amalgam Removal
January 19th, 2009 Mom I had 2 of my possible 3 amalgams removed last week. I say possible, because one is a crown and we don’t know what is under it, even with x-rays – so until the crown is replaced (soon, I hope), I have to assume it’s an amalgam. If you haven’t already seen the smoking tooth […]
Nicholas got dressed….by himself
January 19th, 2009 Mom So, when Nicholas got up this morning he was all wet, so I stripped him down and changed his diaper and came downstairs to throw his sheets and stuff in the wash. 5 minutes later, Nicholas comes downstairs FULLY DRESSED!!!! in a matching outfit that was hanging in his closet!
Current Progress
January 14th, 2009 Mom This past weekend, we saw another set of changes in Nicholas – they seemed to all happen practically overnight. – He’s now into watching Toot & Puddle and when he asks to watch it – he sings it like the intro to the show. – He woke me up this morning by knocking on his […]
Round 18: Complete & Dosage Increased
January 12th, 2009 Mom Round 18 completed! I increased the dose of both ALA and DMSA this round. Our new dosages are as follows: DMSA: 16.7.mg ALA: 8.33mg Nicholas seemed to tolerate the higher dose just fine. (It wasn’t much of a jump, but it was still an increase over what we have been giving him.)
