So it sounds to me, that he spontaneously cleared. It happens.

And that is a good thing.

Thats correct it no longer shows up in his blood work that he gets done once a month. Thanks for the link to the online book. Im gonna go check it out right now. As for him joining, well i told him about it and he doesn't seem interested. Im also a yahoo group junkie...lol i belong to a few groups online, not just for him but also for my son who has torticollis and plagiocephaly and my at home business...I also think it would be too much too soon for him hes starting to come around and look into the "stuff" he need to do on his own. So until he's completely ready im going to stock up on all the info that i can get. Thanks again for everything. >> Hi,> > That's great that he's asking things now! Practical things that do matter
