We took Benj in for his second visit with the applied kinesiologist today. He asked how Benj was feeling, how he slept last night, and how everything went with his experience trying something new. Benj reported that he feels great, slept great, and that everything went smoothly with the popcorn last night.
In talking with my friend I had learned that we might go in today and find that there were new patterns or viruses that needed to be addressed that would only show up after the first one was fixed, so we were prepared for complicating factors and more treatment, but as the doctor checked him using the allergens he treated for yesterday, Benj remained strong for each one. He found no new issues. We did remember a couple of other things to test for and treat, which he easily did, but other than that it was a pretty straightforward, short appointment today.
Benj started taking the professional quality vitamin supplement the doctor recommended today and we still need to get him one specific vitamin (riboflavin) for some skin irritation at the corner of his mouth caused by a deficiency, but overall not much new happened.
We are immensely encouraged that so far he has not had any complications. We gave him regular ol' Heinz ketchup at Chick-fil-A for lunch today. This is something that in the past has caused him hours of major tummy pain because of the corn syrup in it and he was 100% fine. We plan to test something new at dinner tonight. I haven't asked him yet what he wants to try. My guess is cheese.
Thank you for your prayers and support, friends. So many of you have been invested in Benjamin's health and allergy issues in various ways from cooking special meals for us to keeping him safe in the church nursery. Please continue to pray that anything else that needs to be resolved will come to the surface before tomorrow's appointment. We will keep you updated!
