Well things have been crazy busy here. We had a tornado come through and took out many of the homes in our area. We were very fortunate and only had minor damage, but did lose most everything in our yard. We have been working on getting everything back in place so the kids can start enjoying the pool this summer.
We went back to see Keely's doctor in Texas yesterday. He was a little concerned that her low muscle tone is getting worse and believes that the heavy metals levels may be the cause. We did another trial of IV chelation. We have never done chelation on a regular basis because it is pretty much impossible to get a urine sample from her so we don't really know what she's pulling out. This time we collected a stool sample to send in to see what and how much of the heavy metals were pulled out. He was also concerned about her yeast levels so we are suppose to be trying to get a sample to send in to try to determine where that level is at.
I have been looking into homeopathy lately and have been hearing such good things. Most everyone I have talked to talks about how it has helped to heal the gut in their children. We really need this since we still have so many gut issues. I have narrowed it down to two places so hopefully soon we will make the decision on which place we want to go.
Keely's last day of school was today. They had outdoor activities planned for all morning long and invited the parents to come hang out for the day. When we got there she immediately ran to play on the playground equipment. As I was watching her play, they let the pre-K kids out to play on the playground as well. I see this little blond headed boy running over to her. As she grabbed his hand, I stood there in shock. She led him over to the slide and I heard her say "slide". He slid down the slide for her and went back up to where she was. They continued to play together and chase each other around and I caught them holding hands a few more times. I have to admit it brought tears to my eyes. Here's this typical little boy playing with her, and he couldn't really understand what she was wanting him to do and she couldn't really tell him what she wanted, but he was trying so hard to figure it out. He was helping her around and talking to her. I guess because I've always worried whether she will have friends, whether other kids will be nice to her or if they will pick on her because she cannot communicate very well, this was just so sweet and comforting to me. He didn't care that she couldn't carry on a conversation or that she had braces on her legs and was a little clumsy on the playground equipment, he just wanted to play with her. He could have chose to run around with all the boys, but he wanted to stay and play with her. I know not a huge deal to most, but I have never really seen Keely want to play with any other kids or really even want to be around any other kids. So when I saw her teacher I told her what I had saw, she quickly said "oh, you must be talking about Ryan." Apparently they have played together before on the playground and seem to like each other. I just wish I knew this little boys parents so I could tell them what a sweet, caring boy they are raising.
So summer is here! I am hoping to get some sort of homeschool set up going for the summer. Not sure what all that is going to entail, but I am going to give it a shot. She will have ESY starting the second week of June but it will only be for an hour or two three days a week so there will be plenty of time to fit in some homeschooling stuff between that and private therapies. So wish us luck, this is all new territory for this mother warrior!
