January 28th, 2013 Teleconference
Great Telecon with Dr. Goldberg. We aren't changing anything right now. He is having a parenting meeting tonight that he would like me to be a part of. He knows that he can not win this fight for our kids, the parents are the ones that are going to have to make people listen to what is really wrong with our children and not just attaching a label. Even more importantly on how to help our children obtain healthy lives.

October 29th, 2012 Weekly Update
Sydney is talking so much, but with a defiant attitude. I need to watch how I'm talking to people. I'm afraid that may be where she is getting some of this. LOL HHV-6 levels went up, very concerned. I have a teleconference with Dr Goldberg tomorrow.
October 22nd, 2012 Weekly Update
Sydney is just taking off. It's so exciting to experience. Did a follow up strep culture to make sure she was over it.
October 15th, 2012 Weekly Update
Little Miss Sydney has missed school all week. Poor thing as been so sick. We still had her do the 20 minutes of homework each day and give full compliance. They think she was fighting pneumonia and then got her strep test results 10 days later saying she did have strep.
October 8th, 2012 Weekly Update
Sydney is staring to not feel well. This is shocking to us, because she never gets sick. But reinforces my confidence in our Dr.. We had asked about pressure issues with her head. He said to watch her she may be coming down with something. I thought he was nuts but now she is really sick.
October 1st, 2012 Weekly Update
Dr. Goldberg is going to add a new drug, TENEX. I asked what this does since she is already on Lexapro (Escitalopram). This will help with the overstimulation and inflammation deep within the brain. We will need to watch her closely and give updates every 5 days.

Educational Behavior Consultation 10/4/12
I had regular, special educational teacher and I fill out Sydney's behaviors. We were to list 5 examples of how she misbehaves, 5 examples on how we discipline, and 5 examples on how she reacts to the discipline.
I thought this would mostly be about what the school teachers should do. Well, we got a lesson on what we need to change at home, to help the teachers.
Parents need to do:
1. We need to stay calm and get her to notice us without raising our voice.
- if she ignores us, then pick her up and put her in time out. Which is to her room and make sure door is shut. If need be lock the door so she can't open it. Time out is 3-5 minutes.
2. If she does something that will harm herself, then you need to spank and put in room for time out.
3. Swinging in the chairs, in our kitchen: spank and time out.
4. Taking off clothes: time out.
5. Spitting down her face: time out.
After 3-5 minutes, open the door and say, "Sydney are you going to behave yourself now." She needs to make an acknowledgement. If the look or acknowledgement is bad/negative, continue the time out. Repeat every 3-5 minutes, until you get a positive acknowledgement. No hugging, she needs to do good behavior to receive that.
Take redirection out of our vocabulary and actions. When she was younger that was OK. But now she doesn't know that what she did is NOT acceptable if she is redirected.
We are to work with her 20 - 30 minutes on school work everyday. She is to sit and give her attention. If she decides to not comply then we are do the time out method until she finishes her time. We can use the timer, to show her how much time is left and stop it until she gets back on track. We can work with the CD-Roms that we have.
Go over board on the praise for positive behavior. With draw hugs for negative attention. (When you behave you gets hugs, not after you have done time out.)
What the School needs to do:
Continue with time out and discipline her like a neuro-typical child. Try to stay away from the redirection. Have the teachers expect her to listen and comply. We are not to tolerate behaviors at school or with the parents.
Set up a sticker with a face on it. If the teachers have not had to many problems for the day, then she gets sent home with a smiley face sticker. Give lots of praise for the smiley face. If it has been a rough day with compliance then a frown face sticker gets sent home. All electronics are then taken away from her for the night, including TV. Every time she asks for them, the parents say, "Then you should of behaved and listened to the teachers".

October 2st, 2012 Teleconference with Dr. Goldberg
Dr. Goldberg wants me to read the Dr. Chez article about the FDA approving stem cell transplants for non genetic autistic kids. (He is not happy with this article or that the FDA approved this). Also research GMO grains and the harm they are causing.
We are to observe Sydney while she is happy, to see if she has the same happy/spark in her eyes as a neuro-typical kid would.
Start Tenex, 1/8 in the morning and at night, and watch for sharpness and alertness. We do NOT want her to be drugged out and unresponsive. Send reports every 5 days now, to keep a closer eye on Tenex.
I asked what Tenex does, since she is already on the lexapro. His response was lexapro addresses the hyperness of the frontal lope, while tenex will go deep in the brain for hyperness and help bring down the inflammation there too.
We discussed behavioral problems that Sydney is having at school with the teachers. Dr. Goldberg wants us to set up a telecon for Education behavioral Consult, teachers are welcomed to be on the teleconference call. It will last 40 minutes.
