Talia Eats her First Crisp (July 09)

Talia grows and Passes 6kg Mark

At the end of June, my husband and I visted a paediatrician who is also a homeopathic Dr. Seeing that as yet we have had no answers from traditional medicine we decided to try a different route. My physio Ana has seen miracles ocur with this Dr and as I trust and respect her tremendously I decided to vsit this hmeopathic DR in Malaga. She has treated a child with brittle bone disease and achieved much more than Drs ever expected. The child is now in main stream school and walks and talks and has hardly any fractures. By complete coincidence, I knew this child's mum from a business perspective long before realizing she also had a child with special needs.

Well after visiting this homeopath in Malaga and having given Talia loads of vitamins and minerals, I am astounded by the results - Talia has moved from 5.9kilos to 6.14 in just three weeks - absolute miracle. And, get this - she has grown 5 cm to 74cm. I was so shocked that I asked the Dr to measure her several times over so that I could comprehend it.

I am determined to avoid tube feeding and had set myself a goal of 6 kilos by October . Wow - fingers crossed that everything continues to improve at this pace.

Cleveland Clinic Results

Well, results from the Cleveland Clinic have rolled in fast. The main findings have been a vitamin D deficiency which we can try and correct immediately and a deletion in chromozome 22(del 22q12.3, 281.8 Kb, overlaps LARGE). To be honest I dont really know exactly what that means but Andrew and I have just sent our blood over to be tested to see whether this deletion is significant or whether it is just the way our genes are (a polymorphism). The results will probably pose some important answers and enable us to know whether our other two girls may be carriers. So as yet no real diagnosis, just a few clues.....
