I bought it from the Vitamin Shoppe in Crystal Lake. So no advertisements here.
After that last week of school before Christmas break, she was banging her head so bad, I knew that something had to change. The teacher and her staff strongly suggested I contact the doctor to put her on meds for aggression. I had already scaled back the Inulin to 1/8 tsp. I lowered her D3 back to 20,000 IUs, and alternate giving her the K2 every few days.
I also bought the COOC Bari Extra Virgin Olive Oil. That I bought because I wanted to try another approved brand in case Walmart stops selling Cobram Estate extra virgin olive oil. Our local Meijer sells the Bari Extra Virgin Olive Oil.
Monica's mother, Alyssa, does not know about the Nemechek Protocol. However she is in AWE of Monica's awareness to her and Monica's little half sister, Madison.
Monica prior to the awakening, barely acted like her mother was there. Basically just stayed in the same room, playing on her tablet. I didn't want to take the tablet away when mom visits, because then she would associate the removal of a fun thing when Mom and Madi come.
As of yesterday, when they visited, Monica ran to greet them. With Madison, Monica upzipped her jacket. With mom, big hug, and then sat next to her snuggling with tablet.
As for the lapse in blogging, that was all me. Not a fault, per say, but a necessity. Two weeks with Monica, and Grandpa. Two weeks of Christmas, mess, all us anxious, etc. The week of Christmas was almost 60 degrees in Chicago, so we also went to the park, and she got to ride her new bike.
We went out to a restaurant, our favorite Central Gyros in Chicago with Grandpa's family. That went OKAY, but she was overheated. 77 degrees inside, since it was so flipping warm out. I basically let her sit on the floor one table over, I tried to get her to sit on the floor at our table, but she found her "spot".
To those of you on the Nemechek Protocol, or thinking about trying and that read this later. 127 days later seems like yesterday. The Facebook group I am in showed a non verbal boy who has been on it for two years, talking to the camera. Two years of diligence, hope, and success. And YES, when you get headbutted in the cheek at day 120 because she doesn't want to sit at the table you will want to quit. Remember that your child/teen/adult might have headbutted you anyway. Might never have found that safe spot on the floor. Might have destroyed the table, and threw a screaming tantrum and you would have had to leave the seven others at the table to enjoy, while you went out to the car to cry so they could wind down. Instead, it was manageable!
Here are four pictures from Christmas day, and the last one from this morning while we were waiting for the bus.
