Just wanted to post an update before I forget… Nicholas has continued to improve during his hbot treatments. He is just so much more aware than he was, it’s amazing to see. Yesterday, the phone rang and he brought the cordless phone to me – I was shocked – in the past, the phone would […]

We’re MIA – on a spaceship to Mars
May 19th, 2008 
Mom Sorry I haven’t posted in a while, we’ve spent the last week doing HBOT with Nicholas. We’ve been doing 1.5 hour dives twice a day – and we’re being optimistic that it’s working because we are already seeing gains. After one week of HBOT, we are seeing a different child emerge. Where he used to […]
2nd Attempt
May 10th, 2008 Mom Today, we had to complete 2 dives with Nicholas in order to take the HBOT chamber home with us for 30 days. Daddy’s been sick, so it was all on Mommy. Anyway, armed with a DVD player and an assortment of DVD’s, Nicholas did really well in the chamber and even fell asleep. (It was […]
First HBOT appointment
May 3rd, 2008 Mom We went for our first HBOT dive and training today, because we have decided to rent a chamber for a month to see how Nicholas does with it. Well, after spending over $100 bucks at Toys R Us last night, I was able to get him to get in with me with little problem really. (SHOCKING, […]
Pre-HBOT ATEC checklist
May 2nd, 2008 Mom For our own measurement, I filled out the ATEC (Autism Treatment Evaulation Checklist) form. Click anywhere on the form to view.
How could having e. coli bacteria be beneficial?
April 22nd, 2008 Mom Another thing that has me wondering… why would Escherichia coli (e. coli) be listed under Beneficial Bacteria on Nicholas’s Microbiology results? Anytime I’ve ever heard of e. coli, it hasn’t been good. Well, from what I understand, there are different strains of this bacteria. The one I am referring to is a common bowel bacteria […]
What’s wrong with Bifidobacterium lactis (bifidum) anyway?
April 22nd, 2008 Mom So, I’ve revamped Nicholas’s supplement routine, which included the removal of Kirkman’s Pro-Bio Defense. He will be on the SCD diet and this is illegal on this diet, because of the bifidus, but I’ve been curious to know, “What’s wrong with the bifidus?” Afterall, I’m searching for yogurt to make my own with and wouldn’t […]

Bear with me, I’m changing supplements again!
April 19th, 2008 Mom and here’s why…. ever since I stopped the pro-biotics for 4-5 days and then restarted them (for his microbiology stool test) – something hasn’t been right. Now, he apparently has strep bacteria and is showing signs of PANDAS, which he NEVER did before. I just read that it’s been mentioned by parents who have noticed […]
Day 4: Diflucan
April 19th, 2008 Mom Nicholas seems to be getting back to being himself. Although it’s getting hard to keep him IN the house. It’s been beautiful here – and he just wants to be outside at all times! Grandma and Mommy took Nicholas to Chili’s today for lunch. He was a bit apprehensive about getting into the booth – […]
