(HBOT 116) Very Clumsy Today

Jonathan had a night terror today. He walk up screaming at 5am. He was calling my name and sounded desperate. When I went to see him, he said he needed to pee pee. I told him that he could do it by himself. And he said that he couldn't because the birds were not letting him go. I took him to the bathroom and back to bed, he laid down and closed his eyes and was right back to sleep. Really strange.

Jonathan woke up differently today. He was a bit hyper, his behavior seemed a bit awkward. He came to my bed and immediately started getting really close into Vanessa's face. She asked him repetitively to push back. Then he turned the TV on, and laid in front of the TV covering Vanessa's view. She kept complaining. And despite the several times I made him move to another position, he kept getting in the way.

I bathed the kids in the morning (we normally do it at night, but since we came home late last night, I did it this morning) and Jonathan was particularly difficult. He was not focusing on anything. It took him about 20 minutes to undress. I didn't help him so I could measure the level of difficulties he was having. Then, when he urinated before getting in the tub, he was so clumsy around the toilet that the lid dropped and almost hit him in his genitals. Then he got in the water and almost fell inside the tub. He seemed really druggy.

I got the kids ready and dialed my friend B. to see if she was going to meet us at the museums. I wanted to go see a movie and Vanessa wanted to see the whales. My friend decided not to go in the end because she didn't want to stress about being out with the kids without their dad. So my dad and I went with the kids. We had a nice time. The kids went on a carousel, and then we went to the museum to see the movie. It was about planets and Jonathan and Vanessa were both fascinated.




During all this time, Jonathan was walking without much control over his body. It seemed as if his body was too heavy for him. He was dragging. Inside the museum, I had to ensure that he was not colliding with other people. He was not paying much attention to where he was going.

When we left the museum, it was starting to rain. It was not hard, but the car was far but we could not stay because Jonathan had HBOT at 3pm. So we started walking fast. Vanessa, who asked me to carry her almost the entire time we were at the museum, actually walked pretty fast. But Jonathan was dragging. I kept pulling his hand. He stopped and said "mommy, don't walk so fast. I am tired. My legs hurt. I cannot walk fast". So we slowed down. But it worries me that he is so tired all the time.

His 6th-year check-up is on the 31st and I am going to ask that a full blood work exam is done. His last lab showed low white blood cell counts. I wonder what is going on in his body that is not manifesting in the outside other than the excessive tiredness.

We went to HBOT and had a nice, uneventful dive. He played almost the entire dive with another kid his age. They have very good chemistry. After we finished, we went home. Vanessa fell asleep and stayed in the car with my Dad while we dove. So when we got home, Vanessa had a lot of energy and they played beautifully for an hour until we got ready for Tae Kwon Do.




At Tae Kwon Do, Jonathan was a bit distracted, but the instructor was great and brought him back and made him pay attention. He ran a lot today. I can tell that he is "capable" of running very fast. But after one lap, he gets really tired and slows down to the point of almost walking. I know that he is about 15 lbs overweight. I wonder if that is the problem. He had a good class today.

When we got home, he and Dad watched TV for a bit and then we took the kids to bed. He was again very clumsy. He dropped the water all over his PJs. He was out of energy and could not focus his targets. I hope he has a good night sleep.

I gave him 2700 mg of Phosphatidylcholine yesterday for the first time in over 3 months. It could be a reaction to that. But it always helped him with motor skills, never made him regress. It is a big puzzle to me.

I also started him with Candex today to kill yeast since I stopped the diflucan. I started with 1 pill in the morning. Today's reaction is not due to this because it is too soon to have a die-off effect and I noticed that he was strange when he woke up.
