A big thank you to group and

[Guest guest]

I'm off to get my blood work order from our pediatrican today.

I am armed, somewhat informed and ready. I'm also ready to walk away

from his practice if he insults/refuses (he's new to me b/c our ped

just 'retired' to be a mommy).

I have seen 'interesting' changes in my son since the start of the E -

super duper increased tone esp. with fine motor, a word here and there

(he is non-verbal), eating two new foods (very defensive), ability to

figure out ways to communicate more complex ideas, lower tolerance for

being uncomfortable (he has a VERY high pain threshold), and YES more

emotional (he was always easy and good, etc.- now he's more typical).

All of this even during a transition to the new school year, allergies

and a cold - whoa! It has made me re-evaluate the role of

nutrients,etc. in his issues (PDD/NOS apraxia dwarfism).

Just a big thank you to all who post questions, post answers and work

tirelessly to trying to figure this out and then take the time to share

with the rest of us who are trying to do the same thing.

I'll keep you posted on our blood results.
