The last 24 hours has seen Emily flush, quite lethargic and very feverish (and not for the flavour of a Pringle!) - to the point where she's asleep again right now ... at 4pm.
We've had her on her second round of homeopathic cleansing (part of the CEASE therapy that is recommended for Autistic people - depending on who you talk to) to rid her of the effects of vaccinations.
The first round of the CEASE therapy, to repair the effects of any antibiotics Sue might have taken while preggers with Ems didn't really garner any results (apart from loose poops from too much vitamin C) and we were really not convinced this latest round would produce any either.
Personally, I'm taking the fever as a good sign that this therapy is working. I just hope for Em's sake it subsides soon as you really don't wanna be burning up any longer than you need to. We have Calpol at the ready and are administering that and water as needed.
Em's also well into her gluten-free diet now, so I don't know if any of this is a result from that. I'd hate to think so as it's really not a terrific advertisement for going gluten-free: a raging fever.

New homeopathic course
We finished Em's first homeopathic treatment a couple of weeks ago. Sue met the homeopath last week and got a load of new tablets and potions, etc. for us to give Em.
Day one of the new regime was yesterday, so here's hoping we get some good results from this round.
Sue and Em are also getting fully into their gluten-free diet. It's stupid expensive, but if we can bring Em around - even slightly - it will be worth it. Sue's also toying with taking Em off milk (lactose or casein or something) to see if that provides any more impact.
All signs point to getting the gut sorted out being the first milestone on the road to a better life, so it's worth a shot doing all this.

Cease therapy for Emily
We've started Emily on the CEASE therapy homeopathic treatment. We've read up about it, and had a consultation and at this point we're willing to try anything to alleviate her symptoms, increase concentration, etc. etc. etc.
The only problem is (well, so far anyway), there's a LOT of pills for Emily to take in a day and a few of them are "horse pills". I've crushed them up and boiled them, but I still have to come up with incredibly inventive ways of getting them into her system.
Yesterday I added a stupid strength amount of squash to the pill mixture that would have drowned out just about any other taste known to man. That combined with one of her beloved bendy straws saw the entire mixture downed.
Not sure if I'll have the same luck today.
We're also supposed to start seeing some signs that the therapy is working. Others would call them side effects, but apparently as Emily releases the toxins and pathogens from her system all kinds of crap can happen (I mean that literally as well).
Here's hoping we get something meaningful out the back end of all this.
