Hello all,

Today was pretty non eventful. Jai Lynn woke up with a mucus eye again. This time I didn't charge my cell phone so it wouldn't take a picture :-( But she had mucus just the same. Marcus, Jr. must have had a seizure prior to us getting him up because his bed was wet and his lips where a bit discolored when I woke him up. When I woke him up I asked him how he was doing and he replied "I'm fine" which is huge because he did it unprompted. I then told dad what he said and dad asked him the same question and he replied the same. The rest of the morning he was running and playing with his younger brother.

We went to get bagels this morning for breakfast and Marcus was very playful. Today there was a bit more scripting than usual but just about all of it applied to whatever he was doing.

Today both kids had a clay bath with activated charcoal after. The other supplements done today was NADH, Omega 3-6-9, Vitamin d3, Keifer, Acetyl L.Carnitine, Zeolite by Jai Lynn and Acetyl L. Carnitine , Zeolite, NADH by Marcus.

There where no more seizures today just the one that he had prior to us getting him out of his room.

We had all the kids in our room prior to breakfast and Marcus was having a great time, he was learning how to play with certain toys with daddy (they were battling with toy monsters) and that was huge that he was even willing to learn and participate. Marcus was "wrestling" appropriately with his younger brother and dad asked him did he love his brother and he said "yes".

Both kids did homework today, Jai Lynn took her spelling packet and completed two pages on her own. Marcus completed his spelling packet from last week and completed three pages of math from the Fast Kids Math book that I have. Jai Lynn needed minimal prompting only when Marcus was annoying her but she was able to complete her pages with classical music playing.

Marcus needed lots of prompting and focus help, he did a lot of tapping of his pencil, a lot of singing and looking around the room. It was difficult at times to refocus him but once refocused he worked on his math and spelling.

Today while Jai Lynn and daddy where in the family room my husband gave her a air kiss on her check and she replied, "you love me daddy." She also seemed to be getting better with asking questions and starting a conversation. Jai Lynn also changed the dates and month on the large calendar in the dining room and added all the dates that where important for the month. She counted down the day until Halloween (thus ending the Halloween conversation because now she has a visual).

Both kids had a pretty good day and we are looking forward to the great things to come.

We wish you Blessings and Recovery,

Woke Jai Lynn up to take NADH pill and she had lots of mucus coming out of her right eye (sorry she wiped It out before I could grab my camera) then she began whining about her nose having "boogers" and wanting them out. Tried to have her blow her nose but no boogers, she continued whining so since its Saturday I just closed her door and let her rest more.

Marcus,Jr is in great spirits this morning. Took his NADH with minimal resistance, and has been hopping and signing every since.

Check out my YouTube for the fun for the day.

At approximately 3:30 pm Marcus Jr had a seizure as we were driving to the grocery store. He urinated on himself and fell asleep in the backseat of the van.

I was able to get some video of the end and after, also got some pictures so be sure to check my YouTube page out for that.

He also had/has very bad gas so it looks like another clay bath is in order. Sometimes gas is like a "prequel" to a seizure, obviously his system is fighting something.

After we got home he went right to my bed and he laid down for about two hours, ate about three helpings of dinner plus an apple then asked to watch his show. After all of the excitement he seems to be pretty calm and just chill. Not sure if this is just that this seizure has taken it out of him or we're seeing some changes in behavior. Although, I think its the first I can always hope for the second.

Jai Lynn seems to be having a difficult time today processing information (maybe it's everyday and now because I'm journaling it, it just seems like its worse. I don't know .

*One Hour time elapse*

As I was writing the above portion at about 8:30 pm my son had another seizure lasting for 25 seconds. With a recovery time of under 5 minutes. Which is big. My husband says it looks like his seizure recovery times are getting smaller and the seizures aren't lasting as long. He will be receiving a clay bath tomorrow. Tonight before bed I made sure he had his zeolyte. It seems as if he was right back to normal after this episode as he fully participated in story time (sorry no video I was making bottles) and stayed clear of his room until his bed was made.

Jai Lynn had a great day overall, she also took her zeolyte before bed and she did well during story time (received all story time reports from my husband). She was very low key today but did a lot of question asking, and a lot of conversation initiation (well at least her version of it which is asking the same question over and over again whenever she sees or hears something that reminds her of a topic of interest today it was Halloween). She was very interested about what I was doing in the kitchen (but that has been one of her big interests as of late) and she was very helpful and understanding when Marcus, Jr was having his seizures. An overall big girl. She also told me today that she is going to be a veterinarian when she grows up.

So that was our day in a nutshell, will most likely have more video tomorrow of both kids will try to post what their academic work looks now also.

Until next time,

Wishing you Blessings and Recovery

New Stuff

I am in the process of switching my blog over from Word Press, so give me a little time to switch everything over as Word Press is not as "user friendly" as Blogger and I don't have time to play around and try and figure out how to make a blog work. Hopefully by Sunday (fingers crossed) I'll have this blog up and running. Until then visit the old blog www.charmsthoughts.wordpress.com, I will be disbanding it in a few weeks once I get all of the postings and resources switched.
