fish oil & protein increase..

February 27, 2007

My daughter (I so need to print out the abbrev. list!) has been

taking fish oil for about a month now. It is the only new change

recently. This week, she started eating more meat...eggs & one brand

of fast food chicken have been about all she eats well. would

occasionally eat small bites of beef. (there are the hot dogs she

loves/craves that she gets every so often - guaranteed issues there)

Well, feels like protein is about all she is eating at the moment,

and is eating meat every night, along with her normal eggs. and,

also eating more pumpkin seeds too...I have thought she could use

more protein/meat & am pleased to see this.

Really not sure they are/could be related...maybe it was a texture

thing. Several of her sensitivities have improved. i.e..She had

a " kiss fest " with me several times this week (and is now her new

favorite game), and let me rub her lotion in for more 5 minutes after

her bath AND asked for more time rubbing. I was done before she was,

both times, and that is definitely a " never happened before. "

Tho' she has migraines, and no diag of autism (and I wouldn't put her

on the spectrum, from the bits of info I've picked up), it is way

apparent that something is going on, and her speech & interest &

involvement levels have gone super-speed. and even a noticeable

decrease in her " wariness " level, in interactions with anyone except

me... I am think'g with the possibility of decreased sensivity, that

there is that much less energy devoted to " avoid'g " those things,

and (so much) more energy going into just being a kid.

She also started jumping on her " red ball " last week. the ones you

sit on & hold the handle. That is alot of motion & balance stuff for

her to do without going into a migraine (which she didn't - that is

too cool). and there is the coordination issue, which had kept her

from sitting on it previously (did mainly the lay on it & roll, in

short spurts, before last week)...very cool.

Just overall improvements noted. I am so liking this.
