He orders for himself at restaurants, he's starting to pick out clothes and he asked to have "fikey" hair (spikey). Four is going to be monumental for us all. #teamodin #odinsvoice

All his hard work continues to pay off. Happy birthday Mom, aka Oma, aka Grandma 🎂🎉 #teamodin #odinsvoice

He keeps telling me "it hurts." And he can't tell me what hurts. No fever, not boo boos, tummy isn't acting up. So I told him "let's try to sleep like daddy," and he's almost out. Rather than get frustrated when he can't tell me something, I try my best to help him find words and when I can't I just do what I know would make me feel better. #teamodin #odinsvoice #cas

Yesterday I took Odin to a pediatric chiropractor. Now I've seen a chiropractor since I was about 13. I had terrible TMJ as a kid and wow! did he fix that. I'm symptom free now for as long as I can remember except for the occasional jaw popping night here and there.

Anyway... we went. I was prepared for the anti vax talk. I don't talk about my views on vaccines. I don't preach them. I vaccinate. That's all. My dad being an immunologist/mircobiologist/pathologist led me down this path, also a lot of reading. That's where I'll leave it. So I went there and knew she'd bring it up. Most chiro's are anti dairy and anti vax, at least the four or five I've been to.

So Odin loved her immediately, she observed for quite some time and we discussed Odin's torticollis and traumatic birth and so on. She mentioned vax and I heard out and then she moved on to allergies I can't see. No snot, no rash, no stomach upset. She said perhaps some internal non obvious allergies could be part of Odin's CAS and SPD. She mentioned an allergist. I took that information and considered it, then we moved on to an adjustment. Odin did awesome. I believe in adjustment as it has work so well for me. 15+ years of competitive sports and heavy book bags did their damage, but I'd hardly know except this damn hip flexor (sp).

She was great with a lot of what she said and I definitely noticed a difference in is evening behavior when we got home yesterday.

We go back Wednesday afternoon. Her price was so amazingly fair. She fit right into my budget for extra alternative treatments.

I am trying to find 175$ to take Odin to a homeopathic doctor who will do a series of treatments that have really complicated explanations but have worked wonders on a friend's kid with severe allergies.

We went back and forth over cutting gluten and dairy. Then of course supplements. I ordered supplements from vitacost. He'll need quite a bit of DHA 3, 6 and 9 and vitamin E and choline. I'm struggling to find something with enough choline so I am looking for foods I can trick him into eating. We're going to start with supplements. We'll see how that goes and move onto dietary stuff. I am approaching this at all angles.

Positives:

"wake up mommy" as he tries to pick me up out of bed and rips the covers off of me.

Ran frantically out of his room when he woke up from his nap and verbally asked for food!!!! No 30 minute crying fest!

He's been reading numbers. Did it at Target right off the register. Then he's been counting in his head. So if he sees five, instead of going "1, 2, 3, 4, 5" he just says five and he did it a bunch yesterday. His brain amazes me.
