Whole House Clean

Today was a big day for the entire family. We did a whole house clean. What does that mean? We clean EVERY surface and do tons of laundry. We're hoping this helps with Ian's allergy reaction and reflux. It's a daunting task and we're always happy when we're finished and have a really clean house. Happy New Year!!

Healing Ian's energy

So, I was introduced to an energy healer earlier this month and we've had five sessions now for Ian. I can't help but wonder if some of his improvements in the past month could be attributed to the work being done. I'm going to share a bit from his sessions. I take notes after each session when the healer dictates what she has done with Ian's energy.

First session: Creating a boundary so he could be within it. His energy did not have a shape. But at the same time it wasn’t really ready for the shape. Filled him more on the inside so he could come to the outside. Trying to get his energy contained. Providing more of a container for Ian.

Second session:
Solidified up his boundaries again. Wasn’t firm enough on the outside, still some gaps where energy was leaking out. Took out energy of separation, had separation from the cellular self. Time then to bring energy in, brought in healing essence energy and watched as it entered his system. Really interesting that in a typical pattern there is a round and central tube that comes down the center and radiates outward through the chakras.

Ian has 3 main ones and a smaller one that then come together into one part down to the center. Received a clear message not to change the structure at this time so just brought in energy. But think that at some point will be able to help that structure.

Core energy that comes down into being is different, rather than having one river that comes down to source, he has 3 rivers and 1 small stream that comes together to form one centrally. Something deeper than integration.

Third session:
First, consolidated and drew out little bits of energy around that are not part of his systems. This type of energy brings about invisibility to his system. Meant that he held enough from earlier sessions that she could take something out. Then worked with his core energy. It was time to start bringing the 3 rivers and stream together. Pulled them together. It took awhile to figure out how. Was an upward movement and gathering, like when you spin wool. Not all the way but a little further up.

Fourth session: Took out some of the energy that was having the reaction. Took some energy out that didn’t belong. His energy looked like a dandelion about to blow in the wind, poking out, reaction. So she smoothed it out.

Fifth session:
First started with energy that needed to be taken out
Then brought some healing energy in, worked on 4 divisions and they all came together! Small stream wanted to keep breaking away but worked to bring them together in one tube out the body.

We have this core energy that comes up out of our head and the way that it enters the outer most boundary. She brought in some energy that would connect the newly united core to the outer structure. Ian did fine with that. Really great that the core came together!!

She does energy work two different ways. One way is feeling the energy and the second is looking at the energy. So, now she just looked at Ian. Looked at the brain and brought together the wedge shape that tries to get out from brain injury.

Then, the next step was very exciting because he was ready for some chakra work. Not in his head but worked with the rest of the chakras to give support to the whole system and outer boundary.

Things are holding and moving on for him.

He's had an amazing day!! Very strong energy and HAPPY and full of smiles!! Makes me wonder!

Day of many events

Still terrible reflux, need to find this boy some relief! Despite the reflux today, we had a lovely walk on the trail. He wasn't interested in being guided by hand however he would follow me as I would walk ahead. It was wonderful to experience him watching me and following me as I walked along the path. At one point, Lowell and Lane went another direction and Ian wanted to follow them.

When we returned home, Ian and I started jumping on the trampoline. Within a few minutes he jumped and landed on my foot and I think twisted his ankle. He's been limping all evening and we hope he'll feel better in the morning. Fortunately, it doesn't appear to be anything serious, thank goodness! Then when we took him off, he immediately put an oak leaf into his mouth. As we tried to get it out, he inhaled it!!! This put us all into crisis mode. I can write about it now because Ian is perfectly fine but during the moment Lowell and I were doing everything we could to get him to clear that leaf. Poor Lane just wanted it to be gone and SO DID WE!!! Finally, after many gulps of water, the leaf seemed to clear and go down his throat. PHEW!

So, we had an eventful afternoon. He's calmer this evening and we're looking forward to a more peaceful day tomorrow!

Couple of rough nights

Well, Ian had a couple of rough nights. Christmas night we finally gave him Benedryl at 11 and he gave it up at midnight. At least he slept until 9am the next morning! Then last night, he was having a very difficult time with reflux and we gave him Benedryl again but earlier this time at 8:30. Asleep by 9pm and didn't wake this morning until 9:45!!! Unheard of for Ian to sleep over 12 hours straight through. And he woke pretty happy this morning. Still has some reflux and honestly, I was suspicious that perhaps he had seizures in the middle of the night. But it's been an hour since he woke and no seizures. So, we'll just keep a close watch today. My biggest wish for Christmas was to figure out how to resolve his reflux. It interferes with every part of his life. And yet he hardly complains and just accepts it. Some day soon I hope to post that the reflux is GONE!!!! Oh that will be a glorious moment to celebrate.

Christmas Day

What an amazing day. Both boys slept in this morning. Ian woke happy and calm. Nothing seemed to transfer from last night so it remains a mystery what happened. So, we had a wonderful morning together. Then took both Ian and Lane out for a walk on the trail. We were out for 2 hours and Ian loved the experience of being with the family and seeing the wind in the trees, walk through the grassy path covered with fall leaves. He seemed very happy and continues to be calm, mellow and happy this evening. Not much stimming. Interesting that the stimming seems to decrease when he's had outside time discovering new environments in nature. I took many photos and you can view them by Click to view photos.

Christmas Eve

What a wonderful evening full of love and laughter and music. Linda made a delicious dinner for us all and then I played the piano for over an hour. Ian came over to help me play several times. He smiled and seemed to really enjoy the music. It was so sweet. He did however, have something a bit odd occur. At about 8:45 he looked at me and wanted me to pick him up. He was shaking. I held him and after a few minutes, he stopped shaking. I don't know what was going on. I gave him some water that helped get some burps out. But his eyes were also quite dilated and didn't respond to a flashlight the way Linda's did. He didn't fall asleep until about 9:30 which is very late for him. I'm curious to see what tomorrow will bring. I hope he's feeling better. I just put him to bed and snuggled with him. He was very sweet all day and evening. Full of loves, kisses and noses.

Working with Daddy

Today, Ian was such a great apprentice. Lowell invited Ian to help put sticks into the recycle bin. The first time Lowell tried this with Ian, he was quite unsure of his role. Today, however, Ian understood very quickly his role of putting the sticks into the bin. He stayed with Lowell for over 6 minutes and I think he would have stayed longer but Lowell ran out of sticks! I was so proud of both of them.

Going for a walk

Yesterday (Tues. 12/22) Ian went on a "discovery" walk with Jasmine and Genevieve. I want them to comment on the success of the walk. I'll just share what I witnessed before they left. Ian had been joyfully playing and splashing in the hot tub water while Lane and Aunt Linda soaked. Ian also became soaked so thus needed a change of clothes. He patiently let Genevieve and Jasmine change him and despite shivering, when they opened the gate and said "Let's go for a walk," his face lit up and he had a big smile! Then they departed and the next part I'll let them share. They returned so excited!

(Genevieve's comments)
Ian did such an amazing job on the walk, I was so proud of him! At first he seemed nervous, the surroundings were new to him so naturally he became a little shy and reverted back to what was comfortable and static for him (digging in the dirt). Jasmine and I were happy to let him explore the dirt for a while, but after some gentle assurance that he was safe in the new environment he began to walk with confidence. He began to really absorb the new surroundings,and took in all the new sounds and sights. It was really quite interesting to watch him gain confidence so quickly. He was so happy and affectionate once he knew he was safe.

Mom's first entry

So, today is Winter Solstice. The Light King won the battle and from this day forward the days will start getting longer. The path of Ian's journey has recently been redirected and we are so excited about the days ahead and the light that is entering our life on a daily basis.

Where have we been? We started RDI (Relationship Development Intervention) training in May '08 and Mom and Dad are committed to this remediation for Ian. We also just recently chose to Home School Ian using the ENKI curriculum. Ian has made incredible progress this year and we anticipate many great achievements (no matter how small) in the year ahead. We plan to use this blog to document Ian's progress and as a collaborative tool for the team working and supporting Ian and the family.
