Everybody was there in the room with us, in counselling

God's Boys will be good boys!

I learned so much about my boy, this week's session.  I have been a mother for over 25 years, but this week, it feels that I learned the most.  I felt like Ma and Gramps were with me in the room, observing the behavior of my son, in counselling.  We see improvement.  But the key word for me, was "shut up!".

Gramps said, do you see why I reproved you so sharply that day.  There, as plain as day was the same situation with Jo, magnified by 100.  I realized that my eldest boy is my 4th child.  He talked like Jo and moved like Tone.  I bit my lip and watched this unique combination.   Gramps and I had dealt with this personality conflict of mine.  The one and only time that he yelled at me.  I like directness.  I like clarity and all of this talk around and around was not a smoke screen, as I had earlier thought, but and uncovering.  4th children have to cover themselves with communication for the older people in their lives.  Ma pinched me on the lip and Gramps held me up, as we learned the lesson together of communication and love.  Let Him Talk!  I have probably stifled this delicate personality, with my abrasivity.   He would do better with a combination of Aunt Gloria {light} and Grandpa {carefree}.  I am sure that I will have a hard time lightening my grip.

The Boy seems to be perking up?

God's Boys will be good boys! Holy Basil 3x's a day. More protein, less stress, there is some improvement. Observation. Ceramic--- building the pipes in the bloodstream is {ceramic} The things that cling to ceramic in the cold, seem to cling to the veins and arteries in the medium heat of the body. I love the film on the cups from the fruit smoothies. It is a thin film, it clings and builds, but doesn't clog with gunk, like the fatty film of the meats and sauces. A yogurty, nonfat gravy, may be able to hold the flavor of the meat and the veggies, without clogging the arteries??

Increased the Holy Basil dosage

God's Boys will be good boys! second dosage today increased from 1/8th dropper to 1/4th dropper. Still seeing lethargy and decreased motivation. Improving from the initial observation, but attempting to increase the dosage to observe the quantity change. Will decrease again, if there is a marked change in behavior.

Meeting with the Ms. Landon

God's Boys will be good boys! We got to the school at a little after 7am. Ms. Landon was very easy to talk to and we laid out our dilemma to her. Our dear boy is laying down and we are not sure what the problem is. There are emotional challenges. There are certainly physical problems that we are investigating and we are now pursuing the academic. We were directed to pursue further medical assistance. We were directed to compile our findings and challenges and submit them to the Principal to see if there is a possibility of an academic incomplete for the year, as opposed to an FF. We are still sorely sad that we cannot find the answers. Thank God for Ms. Landon and the concern of the school.

Holy Basil

God's Boys will be good boys! dosage change from half a dropper full, before bed to 1/8 of a dropper after meals. The change seemed more progressive. Still sleepy and sullen, still suffering from stomach and gas. Ate a little more at dinner, without as much cajoling. Talked a little more and contributed information, not directly requested. Still lying on the grass for times. Showed signs of reading and looking around.

Holy Basil Leaves for stress relief?

God's Boys will be good boys! Yesterday, we went to the health food store. The woman dissuaded us from the St. John's Wort, in lew of Holy Basil. We gave one dropper full, as directed, in 2 cups of Orange Juice and saw some relaxation occur. I think it was too much though, because he went to bed and slept until 7 and has been somewhat groggy through the day. This is not much of a change from the earlier behavior. I would try half tonight before bed and we have an appointment with the Psychologist tomorrow. We are praying before each move. Asked the Northlake Church to pray for our endeavors on his behalf. PS. Got good direct advice about online school prospects through Sister Sheryl. Halleluia, to Jesus!

hitchin'? Don't give antihistamines...

God's Boys will be good boys! This is the umpteenth day of the observations. Aloe vera worked on the inside but not the disposition. I gave antihistamines and at dinner the whole thing unravelled. This is going to be a long emotional battle. Sitting in the car and listening or talking seemed some relief and then off to the school struggle again this morning. Next thing to try is St. John's Wart?
