Re: Getting over the hump

[Guest guest]

The stall can last anywhere from 6-9 months and I agree, it's disheartening.

It is important that you keep going as if you don't I have read of many of

the kids returning to baseline or before chelation.

I wish I could give you some wonderful words of wisdom to get you through

this but it is just hard work. Know that you can come out of the other side.

Ours did and walked into a regular kindergarten with no aide and with no

diagnosis and has matured beautifully this year with the additional help of

the most wonderful teacher.

I can tell you from the other side....there is just about nothing else I

have done in the world that is more worthwhile and I while I have had many

accomplishments they all pale in comparison to this one.
