I did a nice update yesterday, but for some reason when I posted it it was sucked into a blackhole. So I'll try again to fill you in on what she is up to. Ari had another appointment Tuesday with the chinese doctor. He wanted to make sure the stuff he had given her was working like it should. This time he used me for the muscle testing part of his diagnosis. Now I don't know how it works, but it definitely works. And the stuff he is giving her is doing its job, but he wants to do more diagnosis, so we are going again today. Wednesday when we woke up Ari was running a fever of 102.5, so we called Dr Murray. He suggested that we take her to the Baptist Hospital ER across the street since they would be able to do all the testing she needs right away. Sarah and Saydi spent 5 hours there with Ari while they tested Ari's blood, took chest x rays, and tested her urine for a UTI. All came back good, so they decided she probably just had a virus or something. Earlier in the week our other kids were sick so it is likely that is all it was. She has not had a fever since then. We are committing ourselves to being more proactive against virus' and bugs from our kids and visitors, but that will be hard as school is starting soon. After our appointment with Dr John (the chinese dr)Tuesday, I really believed there might be something to all this monkeying with a persons energies. So we called the people at CenterIMT here, whom we had spoken with before, and asked for an evaluation. So yesterday Ari went to them for an eval and they immediately did a first therapy session. With-in about 20 mins into her therapy, just by touching certain areas and doing what they do, Ari had a complete and full BM. We were pretty impressed that they were able to propitiate this in the first session. If you would like to visit there website, you will find them at www.CenterIMT.com. We have scheduled more for next week, and hope to continue as much as possible based on whatever funds we have. This is another cash deal, since insurance and medicaid won't cover "alternative medicines." Center IMT also said something about Arianna maybe having an allergy to her food or whats in, possibly Gluten. This would affirm something Dr John said about her maybe being allergic to her formula. So we have some research to do to find something she can handle at this phase. So today we will meet with the neuro dude to see what he says about the last eeg they did. Remember, we had wanted him to see if the fits she is throwing are siezures. Then this afernoon we meet with Dr John again for more evaluations. We will be home tonight, late, and Sarah will be coming back to Jax next week with her mother while I stay in Sebring again. The break that we took last week seemed to help Sarah a little. She needed a chance to recoup on her energy levels, and we had a chance to have dinner with some really good friends from church a couple times. I know she had expressed wishes several times over the last couple months that we could get plugged in with them a little more. It's nice to have good friends to lift you up and listen to you and spend enough time with Ari to see what we are dealing with. We don't feel quite so alone now. I hit some sort of low myself Tuesday, mostly a reaction to Ari crying all day {what a long drive it was) and not being able to help her. I guess once my nerves were shot the reality of our lives being turned upside down wouldn't leave me alone. But I was blessed to talk to a very good friend of mine late that night. We are so blessed to be surrounded with all of you that we can lean on and do lean on when we need. So I will update some tomorrow morning on eeg results. Love to all
