Well update on Mr. K; he's officially off the RLS meds as of tonight. That means since Jan. 1st he has been taken off 4 different meds. We have one more nighttime med to go but that won't come until we go back for his 3 month lab. This leaves only 4 medications (4 dosing times and 7 pills) to go...I'm so hopeful. We have used a therapeutic essential oil from Young Living called Grounding for the last 3 nights (including tonight). He has had no issues going to sleep, he has not gotten up complaining, he has slept all night. Now with that said, here's a note on sleep disorders if you haven't read my past blogs. Even though he's in bed, appears to be asleep, and doesn't get up doesn't mean his body is deficient of sleep; good sleep called REM sleep.
Restless Leg Syndrome, Periodic Limb Movement Disorder, Sleep Apnea,etc are real issues that cause daytime behaviors especially in kids. If we don't sleep well then ADHD, emotional, defiant, etc type symptoms might occur during the day because they are actually tired and that's how they respond. So we also know that; we're probably going to have to have another sleep study to see how bad/good it really is. With his deficiencies that we found; he has now a full regime of supplements because unfortunately we can no longer get all we need from the food sources like once upon a time even though we've went fully to organic whole foods.
Koda and I both are feeling on the downside tonight so I'm hoping it's not what has been going around. I know we're still deficient in our nutrients, etc...and can't wait until we do a whole family detox during Spring break. We're waiting until then because we know it's going to be hard the first few days, and trying to go to school under such circumstances so we want to support Koda as a family doing this.
So now that's been updated; let's get right to the 2nd step:
#2 Netflix & Chill ;)
(for the uninformed reader...Netflix and Chill is the new "have sex" slang: Netflix and chill is an English language slang term using an invitation to watch Netflix together as a euphemism for sex, either between partners or casually as a booty call.) (Source: Wikipedia)
or do exercises like I do watching the educational documentaries. Wow! I'm glad I don't have any teenagers right now & have to listen to see if they're Netflix and chillin'.
Tip: Eat before watching such suggestions.
Be Educated with the food you eat; where does it come from? What's in it? What does those ingredients mean? So to help you out and to give you a jump start to what took me quite some time to find and get (no need in all of us waiting 42+ years to pay attention and get the right information.
Here's the list:
Food, Inc. (Warning: some graphic slaughterhouse video's)
Food Matters
Hungry for Change
Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead
Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead 2
Forks over Knifes
Fed Up
Cooked
Spinning Plates
Jiro Dreams of Sushi
Inside: Chipotle
Super Size Me
More than Honey
Somm
I Like Killing Flies
That'll keep you busy for awhile. I'm personally so thankful that Netflix has these as part of their selections. I realize this is one of my short ones but there's a lot of information here about the 2nd step....You wouldn't read it all; so I just gave you the videos and excuse to watch.
I've got to take of myself so I'm going to bed. Say a prayer if you will. TIA!!
Blessings,
