To back up a little bit, we had gone up to an LM4 potency of Grayson's homeopathic constitutional remedy, but every time we administered a dose, even just one drop, he would have an AWFUL day and I mean serious regression. I was so confused, not knowing enough about what to expect, if this was normal aggravation to be expected with healing, if the remedy was the wrong remedy, if it was just too potent for him or were we dealing with completely different things coincidentally timed, like a yeast or bacteria flare, etc.
I contacted our doctor and she felt that the best way to handle this was to go back to the 30C potency and dose it daily, if needed. That was just about a week ago. We waited a day to give him the first dose of the 30C potency, so that his body could get back to it's baseline. We had already been off the previous remedy for two days. That first day we gave one drop of the 30C remedy and pretty much had a typical day with him....that consisted of some irritation, a low frustration threshold, but overall good mood. His belly is always flat upon waking in the morning, but by dinner time (sometimes earlier) he is pretty bloated, and to give you a visual, think pregnant woman in her 7th month....bloated - and this day was no exception!
After a few days, we went up to 2 drops, he was having some rough moments still, not handling change well, fighting a lot with his brother, whiny and edgy, argumentative. Even with the mood fluctuations though, he was still showing progress in other areas. He asked us if he could go to the neighbors and ring their doorbell to ask for his golf clubs back (she borrowed them to use for her Kindergarten class lesson a few days earlier). We permitted him to do this all on his own and he DID! Impressive at 5, I know I wouldn't have done that at 5!!
We decided to also go back to doing chelation since we had already taken three weeks off for the homeopathy. Three weeks is our max, any more than that and we have a hard time with them adjusting back to the dose we were using. So even with all the confusion, we jumped right back in at rounds 38 (Grayson) and 13 (Gavin). Again, there were still some mood swings, but when Dave brought Grayson with him to his parent's house, he had NO fear of their huge dog. You have to picture the usual visit ....we get to the front door, the dog (who is HUGE) starts barking his huge deep bark, Grayson runs away from the door and says, "Please put him outside!!" Then we have to drag him inside behind our legs or carry him in until the dog is settled. This day, he walked right in, nose to nose with the dog, no hesitation!! He just turned his head as he was being greeted in doggy language! He also kept a low belly all day for the first time in many months!
Now at 3 drops of his homeopathic remedy, and still chelating through the round, we being to see amazing days. He dressed himself in matching pajamas all weekend, even tight shirts that he normally wouldn't touch with a ten foot pole, because they are "toooooo tight" (AKA - sensory). He participated in a song on tv about sequence. He NEVER participated in tv show songs when prompted, EVERRRR! They were singing a song about color sequences or something and then they would prompt the "kids" watching, the viewers I guess you would say, to finish the lyrics completing the sequence....my husband and I looked at each other, jaws dropped, when we heard him singing along and following the prompts out loud. His thoughts were very complex and thorough all weekend and he appeared quite mature to me. He was playing a game on my iTouch called Angry Birds and he loves to play while someone watches and then watch them play. The game requires you to page past the scene you are in, to another scene, where you have to pan ahead and fire a slingshot aiming to knock down walls to get into them and attack these little creatures at all different levels. It takes advanced planning and coordination. This day he was asking his father, "How would you do this one daddy"? and when he was watching his father play, instead of trying to TELL him what to do, which is the usual, he asked him, "Now, why did you do it that way daddy?" truly looking for an explanation. He also showed signs of patience and concern for what others were doing. He wanted his father to play football with him, but we were getting the deck ready for restaining and he yelled up, "Can you play football with me, Daddy.....when you are done there?" And all the while, the belly is still REALLY low all day long!
Today, he put his socks and shoes on without a single peep of a complaint. Normally the socks or the shoes get thrown, because he is too frustrated by the task. He was given his last dose of chelation as we left the house for the school bus, so I was VERY worried about sending him off to school while he would be experiencing post-round symptoms of yeast overgrowth and redistribution of heavy metals. He is often VERY irritable, defiant, unfocused, spacey, lethargic, and very bloated....needless to say, this could put a damper on how well things have been going at school for the first three weeks. So to make things a bit easier on him, I hid the capsule contents of an activated charcoal in a few coconut carob haystacks for snack time, hehehehe. When he returned home, I was greeted with a smile, and he still had that flat tummy! Unbelievable! I had also asked the teacher how he did today, because I gave him mango which he used to react to (I needed a reason to have her report his behavior today, lol) and she said he was no different from any day, in fact, he had a GREAT day! One thing that was very out of the ordinary today too is that he was exceptionally calm. He always gets a bit riled up when Daddy gets home, and even more so as it gets closer to bed time, but not tonight. He was not fidgety AT ALL, he sat at dinner calmly, he spoke calmly, he went to bed CALMLY, no running or hopping or joking around and hiding on us. I felt like yesterday we had a 5 year old in the house and today he was much more mature than any 5 year old I ever met! Things like this just don't happen overnight, I find myself saying that a lot with the homeopathy. Things are definitely changing by leaps and bounds. And we even took his lithium orotate away this morning with no ill effects! But like my title suggests, I am still waiting for the other shoe to drop....and hoping it never does.
