we are going back on enzymes!

November 1, 2007

I just wrote the other night, I didn't think we saw progress on enzymes.

Well.I'm eating my words. We did them for three months this summer and any

and all improvements were slow for me to see, honestly. My guy is newly

diagnosed PDD-NOS and will be 8 in a few months. We stopped when school

started. Just this past few weeks, chewing like I've never seen. Usually

he hits a wash cloth in the tub and that's about it. He's destroying

pencils, we could call him beaver. At school they gave him a chew stick of

some kind and we've been doing a ton more gum, gurrrr..We've also noticed

him getting up at night needing what he calls to snuggle. He's very happy

in school but it could be a little more than I realize. He told me tonight

he felt better with enzymes and he would like them again. Pretty good hey?

I asked him if he felt better on enzymes and he said he did. So we are

starting back up tomorrow and I'm not stopping any time soon. I picked up

more goodies today and what a huge battle that was even getting him to try

and swallow a pill. You'd think I was trying to kill him.

I think I'm going to crush it up, it is L-Carnitine, and put in sugar if all

else fails. I need to get stuff in this kid. He just gives up to easy and

battles it. We had a nice conversation tonight and he understands we are

just trying to make his body healthy and strong. This may have been the

wrong thing to do but I took away his computer privileges until he swallows

a pill for me. I pray it works wonders and hope I was right????

I also loved getting your stories on home schooling. I sat my husband down

tonight to read a couple. My son is going through exactly what my husband

went through, only different times and understand better circumstances today

for my son. I feeling so much better about myself as a parent thinking

about home schooling as something we will do if things start to go down

hill. So far, we aren't there at all but something to prepare for and be

ready to do. We both feel it is something we could do and do well for him.
