After over a month of craving Finding Nemo, Liberty has now moved on to Thomas the Tank Engine. He watches with the sound mostly off, since he covers his ears. (Don't know why). But, he laughs out loud...again, like he gets it for the first time.

* Sigh.* If only someone would explain it all to me.

But, that's not possible, so in the meantime, I bury myself in books, hoping and praying that the next 4 weeks of camp will be good. It's been a slow start but at least he is getting one-on-one right now. More on camp as it develops.

I'm almost finished with the new book, "The Art of Racing in the Rain." This story is told from a dog's perspective. I've never read anything like it! I'm 3/4 of the way through and loving it. Turns out, it's really a very spiritual book. It is both funny and sad, and it's great writing.

On another note, I was supposed to have a follow-up phone appointment with Lib's doctor but the good doctor got sick. (They called me after I waited patiently for an hour and a half). It was to be re-scheduled but now I can't get an appointment for a month! I am not too happy about that. I'm really quite anxious to know what the heavy metals test results are and to get on with chelating. Just get on. with. it. I've read so much about chelation that I am really confused. Everyone has their opinion about the correct way to chelate. I feel lost in biomed at the moment.

Ah well, in the meantime, the summer wags on. Hope you're having a good summer.

I totally relate to your want/need to just get on with it! I wish I had good chelation advice for you, but I don't, sorry! Have you tried Michelle O'Neil?

You are not alone!

I have consulted with Doc O'Neil and a few others. I was anxious to hear what Dr. Bock will say about what I've found. So close and yet so far...

Hi! Your blog has helped me, another autism mom. My son has DMSA 1 pill m, W, F and gets his heavy metals checked every 3 months. His metals are very high though and his Dr. says it will take a year to get them down to a normal level. For whatever it's worth???? We are all lost in this maze! I have no answers....

Everything is being orchestrated. There will be a good reason for the delay. Keep the faith, mama.

Hi, "A Family," I was looking for an email address to email you privately. Thanks for your kind comments. You seem to know more about what you are doing than me. I need all of the help I can get. It is just so confusing. Who is right? Who do we believe?

Thanks, Michelle, for bringing me back to the present. Reminds me of this:

"I go forward expecting good things, trusting that all that occurs serves me in some way." If only I could keep that in front of me all the time.

I have read lots on Chelation and I am with you there is so much info and some of it conflicting. Here is my two cents - I think it has to be highly individualized and done with alot of intuition. Maybe this delay is part of the overall plan that allows both of you to get to the correct starting place.
(There, wasn't that helpful? ;) )

Robin,

YES! It is VERY, helpful because I was just thinking the very same thing...that what do I have left but my intuition which has served me pretty well anyway? I also believe that the delay is supposed to be that way now...because some things are popping in the meantime. I just got a tip from someone here about a person I can go see...I will fill you guys in later.

Thanks so much for your help and CARING and yes, you truly did help today. Thanks!!! LOVE.
