Let's Tie up the Loose Ends

Ok, so I have let this Blog slide for a few Months however I wanted to ties up a few loose ends and catch up to where we are TODAY!  Three years ago this time of the year we really began intense therapy for Dawson's SPD, still in the back of my mind thinking what is the cause of this, I'm not one to just say OK!!  I want to know WHY, HOW so that I can help my child???  Numerous hours researching .... questions of is this genetic, dietary & did I do something during my pregnancy??  The learning challenges, super sensitivity to smells & sounds, emotional outbursts, eczema, ear infections as a toddler, all kids like to bang their heads & rub it on the floor right??   We were making progress one day at a time, however I still wanted answers!   We scheduled an appointment with the Geneticist, I took both boys being Davin was having developmental delays (oh I failed to include that during all this my baby was having challenges... the Lord works in many way)!   Several weeks later the results came back there were NO abnormal results on any of the boys chromosomes.  HUmmmm, ruled that out!  This summer we finally got into an immunologist that came highly recommended.  I broke down at the appointment finally someone understands what is going on just a sigh of relief .... the hardest part tome was the lack of understanding from people & FAMILY!  Well, we got all the test sent off to test for allergies, metabolic & metals..... on a beautiful day in September my email notification sounded & I opened the email it all made sense my sweet boy is full of Mercury & Lead!  He is battling everyday with a toxic body .... also due to the metals in his body certain deficiencies occur.  His body does not absorb nutrients correctly & his neurotransmitters can not correctly function with toxins in the way!  We are currently working on cleansing his body, our first attempt at chelation was not very successful we our now on our second attempt.  Also, I am in the current steps on testing my other 2 kiddos.  Ask yourself this question how can a child at 8 years of age be so toxic??   My belief is the vaccines how else would these amounts of metals enter my child? I remembered back to an October doctor appt with Dawson when he was 18 months I let the doctor scare me into getting Dawson a FLU shot.  That evening he began screaming & was very hard to console then began breaking out in hives ... I called the doctor & he advised to give some benadryl he will be ok!  REALLY he will be OK! .... WHAT I DID NOT KNOW WAS MY SON WAS SHOWING REACTIONS OF BEING POISONED WITH MERCURY, HIS NEURO SYSTEM WAS BEING ATTACKED & HIS ONLY RESPONSE WAS TO SCREAM THE HIVES WERE THE VACCINES TRYING TO COME OUT OF HIS BODY!   I still continued to trust his doctor however never gave him another flu shot. ITS SCARY PEOPLE!  ONE thing I can say is EDUCATE yourself before just walking in the normal steps of pediatric medicine.   As we continue our daily journey I still have questions that I diligently search for answers.  ~ There is so much more I want to share however until next time...... remember Keeping AMERICA sick is BIG Business!

A Mother's Intuition

It was Fall of 2009, the brisk air was beginning to come in, leaves were changing colors and my amazing Dawson was starting 1st grade.  We were very excited however something was just not settling in my spirit over the struggles Dawson was having in the first six weeks of school.  He was attending tutoring & I was working with him everyday at home.  We continued having on days and off days things just were still ... ..just not MY DAWSON!!  I approached the head master at his school to see about having him tested and that is when MY EYES & HEART were opened to the world of SENSORY PROCESSING DISORDER.  It all began making sense of his behavior, moods and challenges with school work.  Keep in mind Dawson was an honor roll student, never had behavior issues at school however suppressed his emotions & stimulation outburst for home.  Children with Sensory processing issues have to work harder to achieve necessary outcome desired it can lead to a great amount of frustrating behavior. I was so greatful to the staff at Excel Pediatric Therapy in helping my son with his therapy.  We are now keeping up with our Sensory Diet at home.  Each day is a journey and piece to the puzzle of an amazing, talented, kindred spirited child that I was blessed with. ~ Mama Swehla
