Sophie is doing well. We have done 4 rounds now of chelating 3 times a day. So far it has been wonderful. I am still giving low doses, 25mg of ala and dmsa. The effect doesn’t seem to be as intense, but I am seeing changes again! More communication.
Of course a couple of months ago, we went through a new treatment of antibiotics. I think it was very detrimental. I will post on that separately though in the next couple of days. Also I have been working full time as a freelance web developer. It has been very difficult to try to manage my time. My husband was laid off recently, so this is a way to pay the bills. I am struggling to juggle caring for Sophie, homeschooling my Sophie and Alena and caring for my home.
So here is my confession, the house is a wreck, homeschooling is sporadic and best, but secretly I am enjoying the distraction. It has been 2 years now of complete focus on helping Sophie, and of course that is still on the top of my priorities, but the stress of constantly thinking about it is so hard. My mind gets to wander now, lost in php code and style sheets and javascripts.
Of course I feel guilty. I always feel guilty for one reason or another. I never feel like I am doing all that I should in some area of my life. If I can’t find a area that I am presently lacking in, I can alway turn to the past and all the things I should have done to feel bad about. Yeah, like that whole gut feeling about vaccinations that I ignored.
Time to push all of that silliness aside. I am doing my best. God’s grace always saves me from my huge faults.
