Dear Diary,

Okay, hmmm ...

So much has happened since my pity party blog.

great strides have taken me back and pushed me forever forward. As you might know by now we have moved and that was a crazy mix up for Parker. I was feverishly working the diet until my recent diet demise about a couple months ago. You can all rest easy I am back on the wagon and going forward faster and harder than before.

I have a phone consult with our DAN doctor tomorrow to map out Parker's process and see where we need to fiddle with things. Basically he will give me another resource that sounds CRAZY and when we try it we will figure out why he is the doctor and why we need to follow him like Gandhi.

I have been doing some spiritual stuff (for those that don't know I am a Christian) and it has made me think a lot harder at the bigger picture God has for me and Parker. In the words of a wonderful man and close family friend Richard Carlson "don't sweat the small stuff". I NO longer allow ADHD or any other label to be the "big" stuff in my life. Parker was meant to be ON this earth, not to be OF this earth. Rather he was sent here with this awesome master plan for all of us. Let go and let you know who and we will be cool. If "this" was meant to be the big stuff then NO WAY! We got bigger and better things to do and we will not let this "small stuff" keep us from it.

Met with Parker's school OT and Psych specialists and he is on the road for a full evaluation. That is awesome news for us because the schools don't really have any $ right now and Parker is still going to get the help he needs.

Pray that all the right people are in the right place when it comes time to map out our plan of attack after all the tests are concluded. I want attainable goals for Parker, so he can continue to grow strong and secure with a kind heart and a confident soul.

Thanks for all of you that have listened to me bitch and allowed Mom tears

I love you all more than you will ever know

Dana

Happy Birthday Parker

Parker is 8 and thanks to Cherrybrook Kitchen he can have a GF, CF cake

SO SPECIAL!!!

Happy Birthday to my biggest little guy!

I am still adding as I discover

I am on the constant search to find food for Parker. It is putting us in the poor house, but at least his insides are happy and his outsides show it.

This is VEGAN bouillon. I use the unsalted because I like to control the sodium. This is AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!! One of the best things I have found so far. I have a problem with all Parker's food being too bland and bland=boring. I am limited on spices due to allergies and EVER THING seems to have garlic. So I FINALLY found this little gem. I can make broth and even put a cube into his pasta as it cooks and it has great flava.

Mexican food is finally back in the menu. Because we are not only GF but corn free as well this makes for a great replacement for a regular tortilla.

Nice after dinner treat YAY brown rice!!!!

YAY AGAIN brown rice. This pasta is great and you will NEVER know the difference.

We can have Goats Milk, so this yogurt comes in regular, strawberry and blueberry

(P's favorite)

Because we are dairy free butter is off the list ... BUT this Ghee is butter without the CRAP. My Casein Free kid can be rich too my friend.

More to come ...

I LOVE THIS RIGHT NOW!

This is an ode to all things AWESOME

HOLD UP ... CHECK IT OUT

It's the Live euroclean I LOVES IT

randomly bought it at Sears and use it for ever thing.

The sham is awesome because it is good for bathroom mirrors and stainless Steele

oops is Live euroclean paying me?

They better now!

If it was not for this product there would be NO toast for our GF/yeast free dude

THANKS EnerG

(local health food store)

This is my local health food store

2395 Monument Blvd Concord, CA

They are awesome and even offer classes some even FREE

OKAY!!! Aloe water for people with gut issues is awesome. Now, the key is it is a bit expensive, but worth it. You can buy inexpensive junk at Traders, but you get what you pay for. I buy at my local heath food store, below is the brand. Can't taste a thing ... just like water.

For anyone that LOVES to craft or buy hand made goods Etsy is your on line Mecca!!!!

I LOVE this site and have found myself spending WAY to much time and money here.

THESE ARE SO GOOD

Sesame Crunch YUM!

Parker is REALLY limited with foods and candy, just sweets in general and he LOVES these. They usually have them in the bins at the local health food store.

MUST HAVE

for the Gluten free, casein free, soy free anyone these are the BOMB!

This is our local produce store and I love it! I remember coming here with my Mom as a child and getting stoked to have a treat of dried apricots and that is when I thought the vitamin C she was giving us was candy.

Thanks for being so health conscious Mom

Wish we knew there was BHT in the Grape Nuts oops.

More to come!

This is the only PG picture of the rash. It looks rather tame, but imagine it ALL over his body. Especially on the thighs. Poor baby

The doc agrees an auto immune deal with a yeast over growth added to the psoriasis. Diet can help it.

PS I'm so happy to have answers!

WOW, time has taken our family on a long ride up to Northern CA ... FINALLY! We moved here about three months ago for a job promotion and hey not to shabby, due to these times of hardship for so many. Go Daddy!

We are settling in and trying to be as organic and healthy as we can. I love this toxic free, organic awakening. It makes me feel so empowered and that I keep leaning something new each day flips my lid. Some would say it is depressing because I am leaning all about the horrible and growdy junk in our food and our environment, but it makes me feel powerful that I can avoid them and provide a cleaner life for my family.

Here is the news on Parker

We have done some great testing and found he has a S%#& load of allergies and there are great alternatives for helping him focus on the natural tip. Here is his deal

Parker takes

Cod liver Oil Capsules, Probiotics and Multivitamins everyday in the AM & PM

(the B12 shots and the probiotics need to be refrigerated)

AM

3 Cod Liver Capsules

3 Probiotics

3 Multivitamin

PM

3 Cod Liver

3 Multivitamin

He also takes a vitamin B12 shot in his buttocks every other day alternating sides

(take the B12 out of the refrigerator and let come to room temp, about 15 min)

Make sure that you use a cotton swab dipped in alcohol to clean the skin before you give the shot. Gently nip up the skin and put in the needle into the skin at a 45° angle, so as if the B12 it is just under the skin surface almost as if to leave a small bubble. DONE... don’t be alarmed if it left a small red spot it is only the color of the B12 itself.

He has an awesome DAN (doctors against Autism) doctor that we phone consult with, because he is in SO CAL.

We recently went roeg on the diet, which totally jacked Parker up. It was all me, I just went in to melt down BIG TIME. I was so tired of the research and food prep I basically gave up and in to the voice that said it was too much. Not wanting to get out of bed and pretending I/we were the "normal" family. The truth is we all should be making some kind of change. Eating the way we do IS NOT HEALTHY FOR ANYONE!!!!! Not to mention if you can not process toxins and junk.

I feel awful, but I needed a kick in the keester to get fully motivated again and I got that when Parker broke out in a CRAZY rash. Now, just so we are clear, I have seen the rash before and it accompanied swollen joints at age 4 for which they never figured out. They did all kinds of testing and nothing came of it. Well, for all that know me the way you do and are fully aware of my medical degree provided by the school of google, I figured after consulting my nurse (Andy) that Parker does indeed have Psoriasis. AHHHHHHHHH....

Well I am back on the way to crazy town and I am taking my arsenal of all you natural freaks with me for backup.

Watch out crazy town here comes a freaky Mom and an adhd kid with some janky Psoriasis.

PS

Parker told me today that if you kill someone on accident it is not murder, but

MANSLAUBER!!!!

Shut the front door HE IS AWESOME!
