(HBOT 18) He Fixed the Microwave Today

When I arrived to pick him up, he was laying down on the big green pillow. Seeing that always bothers me, kind of hurts me. Makes me wish I could quit my job and just be with him and keep him engaged and in this world 100% of the time. But reality is different.

I ran into a lot of traffic, so I told Jonathan that we were in a hurry, we had to get home and change quickly and leave. No time to bathe. I told him we had to leave at 5:20pm and it was 5:12pm when we arrived home. He told me: "Mommy, we have 8 minutes to go". That was shocking. So he can now add or subtract depending on how you see it.

When we arrived, my Dad was in the kitchen and I ran upstairs to change. I came down, changed him and left.

HBOT Day 18

We arrived and Jonathan was happy to say hi, but didn't want anyone to help him get his shoes and sweater off. We got into the chamber and he did well. He had trouble popping one ear, but after a few tries, he was ok. Even though he had gone potty before we entered the chamber, he had to go again. His urine was pretty dark, possibly his creatinine was high give the color and time of the day.

When we finished, the technician took out the DVD before he left the chamber. When he ran upstairs to the DVD player, he noticed she had stopped it. That is a good thing to try to change that new routine or obsession (depending on how you see it)

On our way home, he told me that he was Mickey and only refer to him as Mickey. He wanted pizza. I asked Javier to get pizza, but his mom was on her way home and picked it up. In the car, Jonathan kept tell me that he wanted to go to Tony's to get the pizza. I told him that Abuita was getting it. He said: "no, About is not home, I don't want to wait" It is great that he can make those abstract connections in his head.

As I am heating up the food, I noticed that the microwave's sound had returned. Jonathan had taken the sound off about 2 weeks ago (by pressing a combination of buttons randomly) and Javier and I tried to fix it with no success. I couldn't find the user's guide either. You never realize how important the beeping sound of the microwave is until you don't have it. Today, apparently while I was changing my clothes to go to the HBOT, Jonathan went to the bathroom, grabbed his step stool, got on top of the counter top, pressed a couple of buttons on the microwave and fixed the sound. My Dad witnessed it without knowing what Jonathan was doing. Javier and I confused whether Jonathan fixed it consciously or not. We asked him to show us what he did, but he couldn't.

When we all finished our food, Jonathan insisted that he wanted to play with my computer. I allowed to play while I fixed his supplements. He is so good with that computer. He can use the mouse perfectly.
