Jonathan was strange today. He did not feel as energetic, and he had a urine accident during nap time (he never has accidents). He felt nauseous at around 7pm and did a bit of humming. The humming had completely stopped about 2 weeks ago (since the trip to the beach), so it is a sign of regression.
Today is day number 5 of Flagyl. He has shown strange stereotypical behaviors such as moving the head from side to side when talking to people (I mentioned it last time), crying for no real reason, does not respond as quickly or at all at times when we talk to him, and all the characteristics that I just described in the previous paragraph.
Whenever I target an area that Yasko suggests and I see regression, I feel happy. To me, if Yasko already described it in her book it means that the intervention is doing what it is supposed to do instead of harm. It is a bold and rough way to analyze it, but so far it has worked. So I tough it out. We all do. Jonathan was very absent minded today and I can tell that it is a die-off effect. I should have done a charcoal flush, but I am leaving town tomorrow and prefer not to introduce something that my parents might not be able to handle easily.
Other than the behaviors above, he is doing well. He fully transitioned to Group 5 at his daycare and he is getting along very well with the teachers and some of the kids, especially when they play with the computer and Jonathan coaches them. It is quite comical to watch.
We have decided to go with HBOT again. We start back on July 31st for 40 more dives. This is our last opportunity this year given the trailer's schedule. That is why I am trying to address Clostridia as much as possible now before the HBOT start, so HBOT can finish killing it.
We had our monthly parent's group meeting last night and I learned a few things as always. One mom mentioned that she has been giving her son coconut kefir and recently switched to another type, and the kid no longer has clostridia problems. So I am going to give that a try as soon as I finish Flagyl.
His receptive language has made a nice turn. He can now rephrase most of what we tell him, which is a very good way to test his receptive language and broad understanding. He still speaks like "Tarzan" but better and he is continuing to understand certain meanings. Like for instance, we have been working on pronouns. He mastered "I" and "you". But he continues to have trouble with "he" and "she". Today, Vanessa said "she" when referring to grandpa, and Jonathan corrected her and said " no Vanessa. "He" is for boys and "she" is for girls. Abuelito (grandpa) is a boy. "He", you need to say "he"." We were in the car and those words sounded like music to my ears :)
