Sleep is Essential

How many of us are effective on little amounts of sleep? How about sending a child to school on Monday morning after a crazily booked weekend??

NOT GOOD.

We recently had a ton of things this past weekend.. and we then wanted family time so we went to the beach on Sunday.. and got back late...

We paid for it... Monday morning was a bit tough and school wasn't as smooth.

Staying in may not be as fun, but it certainly makes things a lot easier on the family wh… Continue

The Learning Continues!!!!

I'm just blown away by the amount of massive information that is out there.. and the amount of information that I don't know yet.. but want to learn!!!

Last night we had our support group here in Winter Park and I really think we're solving some unbelievably complex problems. Each person there had a story, each person there had experience and so many resources coming together is what we FINALLY NEED TO DO TO SOLVE all of these horrible childhood problems our children have. It seems tha… Continue

Happy Days Ahead...when you finally change the FOOD!!!

Yesterday I was just feeling so grateful! I went through the whole day just thanking God that our family is functioning NORMALLY!!! Sure, there are the things like my son trying to stay up too late or get out of swim practice.. but that's normal kid stuff. Mostly though now, he comes home and tells me about his day from school and who he likes and who likes whom. It's really fun and cute and I remember a few short years ago, even MONTHS ago.. and in some instances.

Back to normal... YEA

Update on the DAIRY disaster.

My son took about 2 days to clear out his body and come back to the UNFOGGY and high energy person that he is OFF of dairy and wheat.

His body doesn't slump and get tired off of dairy and wheat
Hes funny, and doing better in school.


AFter we added the NIKKEN magnets and filtered piwater with minerals he became SO sweet… Continue

Dairy causes High emotions

This past weekend, I caved.



I let my little boy indulge in diary.. He loved it! The cheese that was put on a tray quickly disappeared and his little 10 year old hands kept appearing!!!



I thought it was okay.. it was the Friday afternoon after a long week of school, running track and swim practice. I thought, well, lets see what happens! We'll go with it and see if it effects him at all.



Almost immediately he got dark circles under his eyes. (this i

Mary- I am passing along the info for your website to the newsletter person at GOMOTT (Greater Orlando Mother or Twins & Triplets club). I believe there are many members that could benefit from your resources! I will ask them to copy you in on anything they send out to the group & perhaps some day you could be a speaker at one of the monthly meetings. They are always looking for leaders in the community to share their wisdom!

Hi Mary - Thank you for organizing such a wonderful & informative meeting last night! I feel like it really helped to get me jumpstarted again & give me some good resources for the journey with our twins. I have already scheduled our daughter for a sleep study with Dr. Ajayi's office & Dr. Gorman will see both twins in August. I also wanted to tell you that I used your name when ordering my Brain On order so you will get credit for my referral. It was just a great product when I did the research & I am so grateful that my kids will also benefit from such a great product! I had a wonderful conversation with the rep at the company so I was really thankful that I learned of it through you. Hope to see you at a future meeting & thanks for doing all you do to keep us connected!
All the best! Pam C.

Hi Mary!

Happy New Year to you as well. Thanks for the info on Nikken and the H20 Filtration and magnets. Small world as Marissa's therapist is recommending it as well and we'll be looking into it.

Have you had any success with neurofeedback? Marissa is starting that next week. We get the results of her testing on Monday and a prescribed treatment plan from there. I am very hopeful that this will give her an added boost on anxiety issues and attention as well.

Take care,

Craig

Hi Mary, me again. What time is your meeting Sept. 9th? Not sure if I can make it but will try depending on sitters.

Hi Mary, O.K. you got my attention. We just upped Anthony's medication because his anger/anxiety went over the top. However, I was remiss in giving him his B12 shots. Ughhh, always so much to do. He has been GFCF for over a decade so that is not an issue. Inf fact, I joined Pampered Chef as a consultant two years ago just because I cook at home so much. But I don't know about Brain On and if you say it works, then it is worth trying. So, what is your website? I will contact you if it is not too expensive. We are remortgaging, actually loan modification until our income catches up with our expenses. My husband finally started a new job June 1 after two years without. I think it will be terrific. Looking forward to hearing from you and thanks for thining of me. Is brain on a liquid/capsule/powder?? We've done the green water or whatever it was called. Anthony didn't like it. Hopefully this tastes better.

Hi Mary
Tony never got back to me. I sent him info and never heard from him. Thx for asking.

Hi Mary
I absolutely love your website! If you don't mind I am going to add your page link to my website next week!
I spoke to Tony and sent him some info so we shall see what happens. Thanks so much! Remember that you are the best teacher for your child!

All my best,
Suzanne

Hi Mary, just wanted to know if you tried B12 shots? We have started them with our son (one so far while he is sleeping) and the next day he broke a morning ritual he has carried on all year. I found that pretty darn amazing. We are giving them every third day to start but may increase each day. You must do this under a doctor's guidance but google it and see the wonderful effects of B12. Did you also receive the e-mail with the link about the 8 yrs old boy who went to Costa Rica for stem cell treatment? Not sure of your views on that but the boy is doing great, according to his pediatrician. However, not approved in this country, insurance doesn't pay and very expensive and experimental. I shy away from these so called "quick fixes" for several reasons but just wanted to share the info with you. I don't really check this site unless someone e-mails me as I am pretty busy but hope you are doing well.

Hi Mary! I would love to contribute! I enjoy helping families understand the needs of their children, how to advocate for them, and coping with the challenges of raising a child with special needs. I would love to see that reference chart! Please let me know what you need! Thanks
