DAY 12 12/3

Ty played in bed again last night for an hour. It isn't a problem, he is happy and a bit giddy, but sleeping about an hour less which so far hasn't effected him functionally. I spoke with Dr today about his next order of tea which we will pick up on Friday. We went over positives and negatives since beginning, and he is going to tweak Ty's tea batch a bit. He said he is going to add in an "antibiotic herb" to address possible bacterial die off (skin irritation from feces and butt pimples that we noted) and some different herbs for anxiety to see if it will decrease verbal stimming and shredding. I'm all for that!



Teacher reported today in his communication notebook that "he is following verbal commands better!", and he had one spontaneous request, "jump" (most of his documented requests are under the prompted column, unprompted is few and far btwn.!) However, she also noted shredding attempts were over the top today!



Wouldn't poop afterschool on potty, and ended up having an accident an hour later. BM was dark brown and "sticky" with slight vomit stench. He did have 2 spontaneous urines in the afternoon though. Excessive urine output again this afternoon also. Ate very little for dinner (and I made him his favorite). Hubby took Ty in the shower with him and said when he went to wash his body, Ty swatted at him with total fear to back off. VERY STRANGE, but I remembered I had a similar experience over the wknd. when attempting to brush his hair. At first I thought he was doing his tense stim, but this was different - he actually had fear in his eyes. Both incidences were fleeting, thank goodness, but odd none the less.



Meeting with DAN tomorrow and will bring him up to speed on our current trial (hmm.... lol), and he should have 2 UTM results from before we began the tea (then on full Yasko). Ty's mercury had dropped off late summer (even on IV's), but then picked back up with excretion in yellow (unprovoked collections) early Fall.

More bed play before sleep!
