Medically... Josh is doing SO much better! And I credit much of that to our being introduced to therapeutic level essential oils. With them... we prevent most bouts of strep (only one case in 16 months). We keep the swelling down on his KTS arm even better than any compression wrap did AND it "erases", temporarily most likely, most of the hundreds of vericose veins on Josh's arm!! Wounds and bruises heal easily and super fast with Helichrysum. Pain levels seem to be down, as well as with the baby aspirin trials. with Frankincense and Balance. An added benefit of having an essential oil alternative to aspirin is... no more nose bleeds! :-)
Josh grew 1.5 inches just in the first 6 weeks of 2014 alone! He now weighs 54#.
Josh did extensive visual testing in 12/2013. His vision in his left. affected eye, cuts on and off :-(. Josh got some seriously poor scores in visual processing :-(. But now that better accommodations are being made, he's really taking off in reading :-).
He's now a Cub Scout, and has been enjoying the classes/meetings and getting to see some other boys outside of class.
Math and technology are Josh's best subjects in 2nd grade. It's fun to watch him grow, and speculate as to which directions life will take him in the future :-).
