(HBOT 102) Started Ammonia RNA Again

Jonathan had a good day today. The teacher is now sending home small note in his folder that tells us pictorially how much prompting she had to do to redirect him, and the box was clear. So that made me happy. We agreed that she would fill the box depending on how much redirection and prompting he required so I could have an idea of what is going on with him. Since there is limited interaction between the teacher and us, this at least will give us an idea so I can act quicker to alarming situations rather than learn about them from a report card. We asked last year for something like this, and it bothers me that it took seeing Jonathan regress to get this in place.

The HBOT was pretty uneventful. The neck seal keeps bothering him. I need to talk to the technician to check if perhaps it is started to get too tight.

His appetite is selective to either pizza, McDonald's or chicken and rice. He sometimes lets me give him pasta and meatballs. He does not like to eat veggies (my goal during spring break is to feed him veggies - wish me luck). So after the HBOT, he likes to stop by McDonald's and get chicken nuggets. I put a limit of no more than 3 days a week (Tues, Wed and/or Thru). He asked me to take him to McDonald's and I did.

As soon as we got home, we got him ready for bed (we get home at 8pm). He went to bed at 8:45pm. Daddy read a short book and he was asleep by 9pm. I think we will be able to get the kids to bed by no later than 9pm while we still have the HBOT sessions. At least he gets a good 9.5 to 10 hours of sleep a day.

Today, as soon as we got home, I gave him 0.5 ml (1/3 dropper) of the Ammonia RNA. Yasko believes it helps lower the taurine. He used to take it, but since I don't know if RNAs work or not, and they are very expensive, I decided to stop it. I will re-test him in 4 weeks and if I see a drop, I will continue to give it to him.
