Guest guest Posted August 24, 2003 Report Share Posted August 24, 2003 Do you ever walk in on a conversation, and you're just completely lost? And no matter how hard you try to pay attention you just don't get it? Or how about, you get a glimpse, and you think, aha, this is how it's supposed to be. I am absolutely shameless. I kept my son up until 11pm. I couldn't help it. He talked in sentences all afternoon and evening. Complete sentences, great enunciation, didn't want to shut him up even in church, so I let him talk and I did sign language to keep him going. He answered past tense, present tense, future tense, all parts of speech are there, he even stuttered once, he was talking so fast. I know he had to go to sleep, and he did fall asleep on the floor of the den, but I didn't want it to end. He was so social, it's hard to describe. What's the deal? He's still sick, getting the snotty nose pretty bad, and the antibiotic is twice daily. How do I keep this? Should I just be grateful for what we had today? I know I'll never forget it. I'm lost, completely lost. Something is on the tip of my brain, and for the life of me, no matter how much I concentrate, I can't figure out where today came from. Any ideas? The past week and a half have been so bad, and today was the complete opposite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 24, 2003 Report Share Posted August 24, 2003 How long has he been on the antibiotic? Which one is he on? There may be an underlying infection that is being treated, one related to his chhronic problems, not a short term illness. Talk to his doctor. Good luck:) Alice in Wonderland feeling > > > > Do you ever walk in on a conversation, and you're just completely lost? > And no matter how hard you try to pay attention you just don't get it?

Guest guest Posted August 25, 2003 Report Share Posted August 25, 2003 Hello, I have an idea and I am very happy that you get your son back for good now- he is a whole boy. I think when our kids get a fever it helps control yeast other places than in the gut. ( for one thing) You now see that your son is really only sick- you will have to watch for the yeast rebound and keep up on the antibiotic to control the what ever it is controling for a little longer than normal... Parnets need to lead doctors- I would take your son back to see yours so he can see the change- so he will support you and what you think will help keep this progress going.

Guest guest Posted August 25, 2003 Report Share Posted August 25, 2003 Hi , HOW WONDERFUL!!!! Gosh, if I could hear our son talking in sentences and telling us what he feels.....I would also keep him up as long as he could keep going just to hear him. I have seen in other posts, people mentioning their child became better when they took an antibiotic. How confusing!!! What is going on and why can't the supposedly learned doctors figure this out?! I sure hope ph keeps up the improvement and he talks your ear away. I'm happy for you with tears in my eyes. By the way, did you get contacted??? Let me know privately.

Guest guest Posted August 25, 2003 Report Share Posted August 25, 2003 Hi there. I know that you see Dr. Goldberg and I thought I had read on his board that he puts some children on antibiotics fulltime (unknown years?) for underlying strep infections. You may want to talk with him about this since Joesph seems to be doing better on the ABX and all. I am so happy for you. I wish I could hear Hayden's voice saying words again. Someday....Good luck.

Guest guest Posted August 25, 2003 Report Share Posted August 25, 2003 GSE can be used to treat strep too......... Re: Alice in Wonderland feeling Hi there.

Guest guest Posted August 25, 2003 Report Share Posted August 25, 2003 He has been on the antibiotic for five days now. It is Augmenten. I'm still seeing and hearing good things. Sometimes, like yesterday, socially he seems on par with his peers, his language complexity is only slightly behind.

Guest guest Posted August 25, 2003 Report Share Posted August 25, 2003 Thanks for your idea. I did just call our pediatrician. It's too hard to describe what ph is doing and how is acting, I'm hoping she'll agree to see him.

Guest guest Posted August 25, 2003 Report Share Posted August 25, 2003 Thanks so much. He really is doing great. Haven't been contacted yet. I've actually started our " real " therapy again.

Guest guest Posted August 25, 2003 Report Share Posted August 25, 2003 I'm actually hesitant about Dr. Goldberg at the moment, but I do think I need to pick his brain with regards to this. I sent him an e-mail late that night after I put ph to bed, but of course it was the weekend, so hopefully he'll call today. Re: Alice in Wonderland feeling Hi there.

Guest guest Posted August 25, 2003 Report Share Posted August 25, 2003 We actually have used GSE for almost a year now off and on, but I remember reading that if given too long or when not needed, it can cause a bacterial issue to develop. That's why I was so happy when ph was put on an antifungal, the GSE improvements, well, it was a roller coaster of treatment. I didn't want to have to always keep using it. But it is a wonderful natural alternative. Re: Alice in Wonderland feeling Hi there.
