chelation

Jaden started chelation Monday morning. We do three days on, four days off. During the days on, she gets very low doses of DMSA every 3-4 hours, around the clock. Tonight marks two full days which means we have tonight and tomorrow to go. I started this right after finishing a long (beautiful!) weekend serving at Breakthrough. I have not recouped any sleep yet but I am excited to get started with chelation. This time it's gonna work!
A few days ago, Dr Ws office called with some test results. Jaden's vitamin D level is up to 78 already. She no longer is deficient in zinc and her coppper levels have come down. She was tested for MTHFR and it came back negative, which means we can choose to not do the MB12 injections. She has been attending ABA therapy three mornings a week, along with three other little boys her age, and they learn to relate to one another. She has made amazing progress!
She lost her 2nd tooth today. It was a bit loose so she wiggled it until it came out. I am giving extra echenacia because both Kady and Morgan have strep throat. We can't chelate if sick!
