We finished round 4 yesterday and Nicholas is doing quite well. Despite the fact that they say oral chelation would kick up yeast, I am not seeing any additional yeast that he didn’t already have. A few weeks ago, I bought Nicholas this wooden erector-type set from Ikea and he wanted to open it last […]

Update on Nicholas
September 19th, 2008 
Mom Just wanted to post another update on Nicholas before we start Round 4 later today. He is doing amazing! By the time Sunday rolls around and we’re into the current round, the differences in him are completely undeniable. He just wants to have fun and do things with us. He wants to play with us. […]
Tags: Round 3 is behind us!
September 15th, 2008 Mom We finished round 3 early this morning. We added ALA this round. I started with 8mg ALA along with the 8mg DMSA and it seemed to cause stomach upset when given when he didn’t have something to eat with it. So, I cut the ALA down to half of that and started giving him snacks […]
Note from the teacher
September 9th, 2008 Mom Teacher: Today, Nicholas helped me carry my apple papers. He listened a little but still fights structure. How is he doing at home? Mommy: Nicholas has been doing well at home. His receptive language seems to be much better – I feel like he is actually beginning to understand us. I have been able to […]
I love you Mommy!
September 8th, 2008 Mom Nicholas came home today all smiles as he got off the school bus. Handed me his backpack as we walked across the lawn and into the house. Right to the kitchen, to the freezer for his chicken nuggets. 🙂 So cute. As he is eating them, he runs out of ketchup – “more ketchie please […]
So much difference in ONE day.
September 7th, 2008 Mom This weekend, we are in the midst of chelation round #2. We are using DMSA only at the moment. We will be adding ALA next round, next Friday. The current dose Nicholas is getting every 3-4 hours is 8.33mg which is 1/3 of the 25 mg capsule. I mix 3 teaspoons of juice with one […]
First day of School
September 4th, 2008 Mom So, today was Nicholas’s first day of school. The last couple of days, we’ve been talking about the school bus coming and him going to school again – and he’s been getting excited about going on the bus again. Today, he was apprehensive until he saw that bus – then it was love at first […]
Out to dinner….
September 3rd, 2008 Mom So, Grandma and Mommy (me) took Nicholas out to dinner tonight. Not burger king, not McDonalds – we took a step up to Fuddruckers. Which by the way, we had been to before and it was nothing short of a sensory nightmare for Nicholas. Well, last night showed me just how far we had truly […]
Our Toys R Us excursion
September 1st, 2008 Mom So, we took Nicholas to Toys R Us today to see how he would do. And to also scope out what he might like for his upcoming birthday. We shopped, he shopped, we put his shopping back on the shelves :-), checked out and got in the car. Even changed his pull-up somewhere in between. […]
Today’s update
August 30th, 2008 Mom Today was a great day – we just hung around the house. Nicholas was very cute this morning – we lied on the couch for hours this morning watching tv just being cosy and snuggling. If I get this for 5 minutes on an average day, that’s alot. He’s been great all day, thank goodness. […]
