We have lots of support, and good T collaborating with dd, school, and MD so hoping everything has best possible outcome with economy of motion.
Have new lead on Lyme's Disease treatment....... traditional methods so far not working very well. Will see, then move to another approach.
We're on the tail end of 20 IV chelation treatments for heavy metals toxicity in dd, and still working on metabolic syndrome for her. Thank God she tolerates needles, and swallowing supplements with little trouble.
So far the best approach for the over the top inflammation has been supplements and ZERO gluten/sugar/Dairy.... I mean not a piece of fruit-not a blueberry, or a tic tac ZERO SUGAR.
Goodness..... very tough, but it really makes a difference with regard to clearer thinking, and reduction of inflammation. HUGE. I wish we had access to the nutritionist/holistic doc we had the best results with, but she's two States away. Part of the trouble is sorting out what symptoms are caused by the Lyme's and what are aren't. Different in everyone.
Back to the party..... I used to love love love making little books with the kids. I wish I could see pics, Tupp.
Have fun, and make sure you get some cake. ARRRRGH: )

Oh Lighter, that needle in a haystack approach to health problems is so difficult, the energy involved in trying different things and constantly monitoring/checking to see what works and what doesn't, particularly when they involve lifestyle changes like zero sugar - it's in so many things that we munch on without even thinking that's a sugary snack but it is terribly bad for you, I know here in the UK sugar causes more health problems than tobacco now and I expect the situation is similar in the States. I'm glad you've got some good people around you and glad your D has you to help her through all of this. I'm keeping my fingers crossed things improve :)
I am very excited about the party, too! Have started buying pirate themed decorations and plates etc, I bought a pirate ship pinyata and we're going to make the hats and a birthday banner to go across the front of the van :) I'm posting the invitations today (they've already said they're coming but I used to love party invitations as a kid so I thought we'd still do it officially :) ) and we've still got a few weeks to go so I can get the other things we need bit by bit. It's actually stopped raining for the first time since Christmas so I'm hoping to get some work done on the van in the next couple of weeks so it might not be quite so rusty by the time his birthday comes around :) I'll keep rooting for your lovely one for her health to pick up - am I right in thinking you can make sugar free cakes? I seem to remember reading somewhere about some good recipes although can't remember where now.

Hi Tupp:
Sounds like the party will be everything your ds could want it to be.
Time to care for all the small details...... no rushing, or missing things you thought were important.
You're such a good mom.

I realised I have been creating new threads as things have come up and, thanks to all of you, have got a lot of things resolved (or at least better understood).
Lighter, I liked what I read about your japanese de-cluttering book and how things should bring us joy and we shouldn't hold on to them if they don't. I think I am starting to apply that to friends and to my habits. I do a lot out of duty, I think, and for the sake of being 'nice'.
I have jettisoned a few friends recently, and one of my sisters, and I think that has been the right thing to do. I don't particularly enjoy spending time with them any more. I have realised that I want to cherish my very good friends and not have my time or energy taken up by people who sap my spirit! I've realised as well that I've got 'small dose' friends, whose company I do enjoy for a little while every now and again but not for endless hours and that's okay. I've realised I can sometimes be a moody cow and it's alright, and that I can hang out with someone even if I don't agree with everything they say. I can even say I disagree - that's been a bit of a revelation! So I'm practising these new found skills and trying to be a bit less intense about relationships and just go with the flow a bit more, whilst also not letting others drag me down or take up too much of my time.
I've been seeing the homeopath, acupuncturist and osteopath regularly and I can feel it helping. I'm also trying to keep my diet healthy, meditate every day and do a bit of yoga and/or walking, gardening or something that involves moving around outside.
I've one room to finish decorating and hopefully will be able to do that over the weekend. The paperwork is all organised, everything's filed and labelled in pretty folders. I've a big pile of stuff to either burn or shred and I'm working my way through it.
My son's health is still up and down; we're focusing on rest, diet and small amounts of daily exercise. We're trying to enjoy each day and take it as it comes. Life is moving at a slower, more leisurely pace and I like it.
All in all things are good and moving in the right direction :)

Tupp:
Reading your post..... uit felt like you're floating gently down a river.
You know the water may slow down, or speed up, or get choppy, but for right now.....
things are calm.
Breath.
Pay attention to how you're feeling.
This is your time to discover who you are, and what makes Tupp happy.
Lighter
Hopalong:
Hugs to you ((((((((((((Tupp))))))))))))))))))
and much gentle comfort to your ((((((son))))) (dunno if a huge hug from a total stranger would go down terribly well!) :)
Love to you,
Hops
