TGIF?

I hope Friday is better than Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday were this week. Holden is out of sorts. He's screaming and crying at ABA. He's having MAJOR issues with transitions there. Changing therapists or even rooms, he's having meltdowns. He's stimming like crazy. Today, it was walking past the TV (looking at the different angles) down the wall of the playroom, and back. Over and over and over again. Drives me insane. Still mouthing everything. Chewing the binkies that he has left. Chewing on his shirt all the time.

God, please let this be a phase that will go away soon. The last things I've started are the Minerals and Taurine. Going to talk to Dr. Berger about that and see if either could make such a difference?!

On a "lighter" note (not really, but still), we got the DMPS and EDTA challenge results back. DMPS wasn't impressive - did pull some metals. Lead being the highest, but not elevated. Did pull some mercury, but again, not a lot. The EDTA challenge test pulled both lead and mercury in the orange. From what I've heard, EDTA is notorious for pulling lead ... but not mercury. So, that's good news. I have one more challenge (DMSA) and will do that this Saturday. Our next DAN appointment is May 1st and we'll go over all the challenge tests and decide which chelation agent to use.

So, anyway, please let me be thinking TGIF tomorrow morning!
