Recovering Noah

Well, today was our 7th session at Internal Balance. The odd thing is that he doesn't squeal there - at all. In the apartment, he squeals a lot. The weekends are the worst and they buildup and hit an all time low point by Sunday. I just can't figure out what it is. It could be the carpets - which are old and probably have who knows what in them. There could also be mold underneath them. I've also noticed that everytime we do the laundry or run water in the sink or bath that it reeks of chlorine. It's very overpowering. And the mini-blinds are old and caked with dirt and dust. And then there's the electrical transformer outside Noah's bedroom. And, of course, we're detoxing metals out of his body. It's like having to be Sherlock Holmes to figure all of this out. Tamara gave us a homeopathic remedy against environmental toxins and I gave that to him today. So far, we've been home for 2 hours and he hasn't squealed. We'll see how it works over t...

Noah's at it again. This time he went to sleep at 11:00 and was up by 4:00. Have no idea what's going on in that little body of is - but I try to remember that it's not his fault. He's yawning like crazy, but his is flapping and spinning circles - and takes breaks to yawn. He just can't help it. I'm sure we'll find the answer to all of this in the next few months and am just trying to keep the faith right now. We did have some exciting developments last week. First of all... drum roll... Noah hasn't had steroids in a week. Woo hoo! He is still itching, but I think it's more from detoxing. The itch he had back home was more environmental - like allergies and air, etc. He doesn't itch near as much hear. Thank goodness! We still have to lather him up with all sorts of things, though. Right now, we put on Jason's Organic Vitamin E oil (45,000 IU), AminoCare cream, Keys Eye Butter, and Keys RediCare Healing Therapy Spray - which basically all leav...

Okay, it's official. My little Indian boy hates Indian food. Either that or it's my cooking. Although I think I know the answer to that one, I choose to believe that his genetic make up is better suited to hamburgers, french fries, and ice cream sandwiches. (If only he could have them!) Noah has allergies or sensitivities to sooooo many foods. He's not meant to have anything with gluten, dairy, soy, peanuts, corn, potatoes, tomatoes pork, or chicken. That leaves almond butter, eggs, rice, quinoa, millet, lamb, turkey, beef, green vegetables, some other veggies, agave nectar and fruit. Sounds bad, but I know some kids who have it a lot worse, so we're lucky that we can pick from more than 5 foods. Problem is, he doesn't eat hardly anything. We sometimes cheat just so that he'll eat - but he's a smart little fellow and I think he sometimes holds out until we give in. But we always see a reaction whenever we cheat, so I'm trying my best to cut out all of th...

Hey, guess what? The kids are both asleep! They fell asleep around 8:45 pm. I looked outside and didn't see pigs flying, so I can't quite explain it. haha I'm going to keep this quick because I should take advantage of their sleeping and go to bed myself, but wanted to post a quick update. Noah is doing okay. He's making small progress here and there. He has decided that he doesn't want to sleep by himself anymore. I found him cuddled up to Eli the other night. That was a first! He is also starting to test me, I think. Much like a typical two year old would. Most people wouldn't be so thrilled when their child starts acting up, but I'm actually very happy. I remember the time when Noah threw his first (and one of his only) temper tantrums. We were so excited!! It was such a typical thing for him to do and we were so happy that he was exhibiting typical behavior. I can honestly say that I don't think we take one thing for granted with him. It's also m...

Wow, I can't believe we've been here for a week and I've only posted once. I have to admit, I had all these grand ideas of posting reports every night, but truthfully, I'm so tired by the time the boys fall asleep that I just crawl into bed. It's 10:30 as I write this and they're STILL up. Noah gets so exhausted by his therapies - which end around 5:00 or 5:30 that he falls asleep in the car on the way home. We've learned that if he takes a nap then he doesn't sleep at night. He only slept for an hour today, but he's already too wired to sleep. I'm sure our apartment neighbors just love us! We completed our first week of therapy. Where to begin?? It's going to sound so strange to everyone who's new to this. From my last post, you know that Noah was reacting to the electric wires outside our apartment. The Q link did help, but I think the power was too strong and he started reacting again. We also found out that they cleaned our carpets ri...

Well, we finally made it to TN last night. I can't believe that we're finally here. There are so many hopes and dreams pinned on this three-month stay. I wish I had a crystal ball and could see where Noah's going to be come October. We stopped by Internal Balance today and saw a little boy who we first met back in April. He's been coming 2x a week and he's now potty-trained and his language has exploded. I think he was nonverbal when we saw him 3 months ago. He also seemed a lot calmer than I remembered - so I'm really excited to see how Noah's going to progress over the next few months. Hey, I have an interesting testimony for the Q-link pendant. If you go to Noah's website at www.recoveringnoah.com, you can read about Biopro under the "How You Can Help" section. Noah's been wearing the Q-link since February and he no longer freaks out whenever we drive by the power substation at the end of our road. Anyway, when we walked into our new apa...
