(HBOT 60) Less Intense Today

Yesterday I decided to have a completely gluten-free day for Jonathan. Both gluten free and casein free. I cooked for him all day. This morning, I made an infraction because we were running late for the HBOT. However, on the way to the HBOT I noticed how calmed he was. He was watching the same video that he did the night before, but he was singing softly and he was talking to me and telling me what was going on. No screaming or strange sounds came out of his mouth. During the dive, he did great. Did not make strange sounds. Spoke well and overall had a good behavior. When we left the HBOT I noticed that he started to get a bit anxious and figity. I stopped by Trader's Joe and got gluten free pasta for him. The rest of the day was all gluten free. He did had Parmesan cheese, so some casein. In the afternoon he was a bit more intense than in the morning, but overall it was much less intense than the past few weeks.

This week will be impossible to be GF/CF because at daycare they rather feed him their food. But he starts full-day kindergarden next week and I have to pack his lunch and snack. So I will give him just GF/CF foods and that should help him concentrate and behave better in class.

I know he still has intolerance to gluten and casein. I don't know how bad it might be because his immunoscience's lab shows no IgG reaction. And his reactions are not as marked as 2 years ago. But I know he still has it. So I emailed his DAN! Dr. and requested an IgG Food panel test.

We stayed home again as Daddy was not completely recovered from his strep throat. Jonathan spent a large portion playing with Abuita. Reading books, playing games. Later, he and I went on a bike ride. I am concerned that his posture is not very good. He no longer has an OT therapist because insurance stopped covering it. I am not a very good teacher. I tried to show him how to balance, but I couldn't. I need to find a different OT therapist. This need to be corrected. He is leaning on his left side and letting his training wheels balance him. He is afraid of riding on just the front and back wheels.




After that, we came home and he helped me do laundry

Great helper!

In the evening, we all had dinner and he and Vanessa started playing. They are terrible. They make a horrible mess with the toys and when I tell them to put them away, they ignore me. I need to really work on that. Jonathan comes and tells me "mommy, this is a mess. We have to clean it up" but then he starts playing with other things and stops. Shame on him :)

I took this video right before we went to bed of them playing very nicely with the scooter.
