HE ATE CARROTS! and other successes!

[Guest guest]

I just had to share with all of our first week on SCD. First, I have

seen die off for the first time ever! Although the reactions are

negative (fit throwing and crying) I know this is a good sign.

(Epsom salts are our friend!) In one week Jaden has repeated the " p "

sound for his speech therapist, said " nana " for banana, and last

night he actually sat and wanted us to take his picture! He is so

much more aware of his world!

CARROTS!!! I steamed and pureed carrots with a bit of honey, then

froze them in popcicle molds. He LOVED them!!!! Yeah!!!!

Thanks for all your help this tough week!

Great news. Are you using the ATEC to track progress across the

board? Its a neat thing to do maybe once a month. Now that I say

that, I need to do one now!

Periodically some of who are adults on SCD get a clear picture of how the

children must feel. I got a stomach bug with cramps and diaharrea. I am

generally an active and outgoing person with a good appetite. I developed a

terrible reaction to the yogurt and cheese which both normally agree with me.

(this is probably just temporary)

I just wanted to lie in bed curled up in a ball and did not want to talk to

anyone. So if a child had digestive problems or die off it is no small wonder

they exhibit a full spectrum of negative behaviors and apparent distress.
