Hi chanchanboy,

Swimming is a great form of exercise and it helps relieve symptom of ADHD.  However, chlorine is my conern as my son would drink the water when swimming.  My friend told me 2 of his sons got fungual infection on feet after they have taken a swimming course in the public pools.  Check your son's feet to see if there's cut/wound beforehand, Cover the area with the water resistant spray or bandage for protection.  

Haybmum,

My son will be attending a summer program organized by an ABA training centre in Seattle.  We'll consult the professionals there if he needs to take any futher tests.     

BTW, have you heard Tony Chan, 小 甜 甜 boyfriend,
one of his son is going to AP International School?  I'm just nosy if there're many puppies terms waiting outside the school everyday.   

HayBMum

chanchanboy,
My son's body parts coordination is weak.  We did  some tests for him and then considered necessary to do intensive training on his coordination, motor planning and thinking mode.   These will be done at Ann's centre.

Oh I see why AP requested me to discuss with them next week on stopping the service!  They must feel that we are joining together to quit their service. What a coincidence that we both decide to change!
One day, my son told me that he did not want to have the training at AP anymore because the therapists grabbed his bands when he was not doing well.  He did not like this kind of punishment.  I was happy to see his change and his judgement on the incident.  So I think it's the time to let him have something different.

kawai,
yes I read from the newspaper that Tony Chan's wife went to AP to pick up her child.  I was not aware of any strange guy waiting outside the school.  Perhaps the puppies are skillful enough to hide in the places that we cannot see.  Hoping that I will not be a 路人甲 and appear in the newspaper one day.

Regarding the swimming and the extra activities.  I also share your concern on the chlorine.  Anyway, I will do something similar to chanchanboy to let my son having normal activities as other kids.  

Is the ABA Seattle centre also set up as a school and provides normal academic lessons apart from the ABA training?  I believe the ABA service in US is more structural and professional.  Hoping that your son will have a good start in there.

chanchanboy,
I have stopped the OT session in HH, so will have less chance to meet you.

HayBmom,
I met your son the other day, I have asked him to tell you that he has met me.  Did he tell you that?  He has grown very tall.  He is real good, talking to me and asking for my husband's name.

Me too is decreasing the frequency of giving Vit B12 injection to my son and not too mad when my son was given gluten food by different sources of people.

So HayBmom's son is going to P1 in Sept?  Time flies!

chanchanboy

HayBMum,

My son's body coordination and motor planning is also weak.  He has OT lesson every Saturday since last year and shown progress.  I believe what Ann done would be similar.  We need to spend much time practicing with him at home.  

Actually, I am quite unhappy with AP during the last month of service (I give them 1 month notice), they cut my son’s sessions a lot.  But it is lucky I don’t see any regression of my son’s behaviour during this last month and seems I made a right choice.

Kawai,

I believe your son will have a good start in Seattle!

Thanks for telling me about the fungual infection and reminding me to use water resistant spray or bandage.  I also ask my son remembering to wear slippers.

About Chlorine, in my visit with Dr. Usman last summer, I have told her that my son likes playing in swimming pool very much.  She has advised me to use epsom salt / epsom cream after that.

Jasper888,

Yes, long time not seeing your son.  Last time, he call me and say goodbye to me by himself!

Dommom

Hi all moms,

Talking about body coordination, Dom simply scores negative in all types of physical activities.  He probably got it from me rather than from his autism.  

He has been taking swimming lessons since last summer, but still cannot swim.  He finds coping with his swimming lesson very difficult and said he hates it.  His instructor already has experience teaching special needs kids, but it seems like Dom is not getting anywhere.  What is your experience on this?  

Also should I start teaching him to use chop sticks?  He still cannot do it at 5.5 years old.

HayBMum

jasper888,
My son didn't tell me he met you until my husband reminded him.  He will go to P1 next Sept.  Hope that I can find an accommodating school for him.  
I think I met you son the other day too.  I could not recognize him immediately as he grows much taller than before.  My son did not gain height in the past 3 months. :cry:   I don't know why but I think it may be due to chelation.

chanchanboy,
the training will be partly OT and partly the others.  I don't know what exactly the therapist will do yet.  Will update you if there is something special.

For AP, although their administration and arrangements always make us   :evil: , I must say they have changed my son a lot.

Dommon,
My son is using chopsticks when dinning at home but a bit messy.  So when dinning out, we usually allow him to use spoon.   

chanchanboy

Dommom,

I think it's time to teach Dom to use chopsticks.  But don't be too worry.  When his hands and fingers are strong enough, he will do much better with chopsticks.

Hi all,

Very pleased to see all of you responding and the kids all have fairly good improvement - so encouraging and exicting!

I am still doing GF/CF diet on Justin (at least at school) but similar to some of you, will bring him enzymes when dining out.  In fact, he has tried many caisen and gluten food already, e.g. ice-cream, bread (once or twice a week), udong, spaghetti, etc.  But I shall make sure that I control what he eats if he takes these C & G food.  Whilst at school, he is still on diet.

Justin is also taking supplements like Eye-Q, Folinic Acid + B12, Learners' Edge, ASD-Plex, Pro-biotics, Chorella, etc. and have B12 nasal spray (once a day) and Naltaxone cream (every other night).  For therapy, he is taking ST bi-weekly, OT weekly, and he sees Dr. Andy Lee three times a week since Nov last year.  

I would also very much like to let Justin learn swimming as he loves so much and is not afraid of water, like Kawai's son, he will drink the water!  My main conern is also the chlorine in the pool water. Even though I use epsom salt to take bath for him afterwards, I am afraid he drinks too much!

Dommom, I didn't see you last Sat in the Djembe lesson, did Dom go?  Tell you what, Justin is reluctant to go at first but he behaves fine in the lesson.  However, after the lesson, he said that he has been there for twice and it's enough, and no more lesson!  Don't know if I should insist or just follows his will!

Great to hear from you all again and I must say that our kids all achieve advancement to certain extent! I am now starting to look for P1 admission information.  Grateful if anyone of you could give me some advice.

Hi Justin 2002,

看到你的留言, 知道你也有帶兒子到Dr.Andy Lee 處做治療.  我的兒子有輕微的中文讀寫困難和專注力問題, 現只是剛剛開始到Dr.Lee度做治療, 還未見有成效, 真的很想你分享一下現在的進展情況.

非常感謝!

Dommom

Hi Justin2002,

I did not go to his Dejembe lesson last week, can't go the coming Saturday either.  Check him out for me please.  He is the boy with the Filipino looking skin tone.

Who is Dr. Andy Lee and what does he specialize in?

chanchanboy

Justin2002,

以前仔仔都會飲到泳池水, 後來Daddy教佢唔飲得, 要好似刷牙咁吐番出黎, 兩個仲係度練吐水, 真係核突, 人少D個陣你都可以同仔仔試.

你仔仔開始揾小一, 時間真係過得快.

我最近同老公, 阿仔, 二女(唔係A)做咗個urine test, 話可以test到體內toxic metal 的burden有幾多. 叫"  Urinary Porphyrin Profile", 有冇人做過呢? 我仲等緊個report. 我捉埋老公阿女做, 想當做個reference.

ultramom,
你係唔搵呢個website呀:

http://www.homeopathy.com/clinic/


個Urinary prophyrin Profile 係唔係 Dr Trodd 度做架?

ultramom

Haybmum,

"Urinary prophyrin Profile"唔係dr trodd度做, 係幫我個仔舊年做endoscopy個g.i. doctor (梁醫生)講開, 佢有個patient (A 仔)做過呢個TEST. 我老公上網睇過d資料, 話可以check到身體內仲有幾多toxic metal剩喎... 咁我哋而家主力都係chelation, (dmsa 做咗8個round), 又唔invasive, 價錢ok啦 (約us$100, 另外要自付運費寄返france), 咁咪做吓囉.

唔該你俾個website, 不過我想要kawai試緊嗰個, 唔係美國咩? 點解你俾嗰個係加拿大?

我老豆今朝話腳軟, 行唔到, 我都知驚, 送咗佢入醫生, 做完mri, 發現又有d腦血管塞咗, 輕微中風.. :cry:  要留院觀察幾日.... 我老豆入親醫生就好驚, 我屋企3個細路, 又唔可以陪佢係醫院過夜... 返咗屋企都心掛掛...

chanchanboy

ultramom,

The website is correct.

I am also interested in the urinary prophyrin profile, but is it a must to see Dr. Leung beforehand?

For your daddy, don't be so worry and take care yourself and take rest as much as possible!

ultramom

chanchanboy,

唔駛經任何醫生. 我老公send email 去問攞test kits, 佢哋好快就寄到香港. 我哋留咗urine sample之後, 再fedex返過去法國. 大概兩個星期就有報告(可選email或郵寄報告).
我會pm條link俾你.

多謝關心, 我爸爸昨天出了院, 不過之後要去腦科覆診同做物理治療.
