Once again I'm late with a weekly status post. Since my brother's death I've often just been plodding along. I've been able to keep going with their diet, but adding new things (juicing, cod liver oil) has been a bit beyond me. I did start adding finely chopped celery to their soups, they are tolerating it well. We also began cooking their pancakes in coconut oil (partly because we are nearly out of ghee!) and that has also been well tolerated. I am limiting the number of pancakes, though.
Probiotic: D - 2 1/2 per day; J - 2 per day.
J's weight is holding. I'm hoping for a gain this week. Now that he is speaking more, he is also asking for seconds when he's still hungry so we don't have to guess.
D's OCD has been a little less the last couple of days. He still doesn't want J getting out books or toys, but doesn't completely lose control when we let J play or read anyway.
About Me
- Helping D and J
- Robert and I have been married over 20 years and have 4 children. Our girls are 20 and our boys are 11 and 9. D developed normally for the first 15-18 months of his life. Then there was a year of stress in his life. I was in the hospital twice, we moved, then his younger brother was born 3 weeks early with a heart defect and spent 3 weeks in the hospital. He never spoke much and over time he slowly withdrew making less eye contact and falling into the range of ASD. J was born with transpositon of the great vessels (main arteries out of his heart were switched) and required surgery at 8 days old to correct. Surgery went very well and he became a very active little boy. He suffered from contstipation. Following big brothers lead, he rarely spoke and while not ASD was learning delayed.
