Birthday Party May 24-26

Sunday was "Party Day"!  We did not go to church even though he woke up feeling pretty good with only a barely ratable headache and dizziness.  We were scared to have to much activity prior to the party for fear he'd back slide.  Up to late last week, we were pretty sure we would have to cancel his party.  We tried talking to Thomas about postponing it but he would become so upset that we basically abandoned the idea of rescheduling and decided to do whatever he could for the party.  We planned activities that didn't involve running or rapid movement.  His siblings helped him design an RC car course in the backyard to drive the car through.  We set up ladder ball and bean bag toss.  Everyone helped fill 100 water balloons for a toss.  At 1:30, five of his friends came to celebrate with him.  Everything went well and he was happy to see his friends!  At 3 p.m. the friends went home and the grandparents, aunts, uncles and God parents came to celebrate. 

Thomas has wanted a dirt bike since he was three years old.  Back in January, I found a Razor electric one marked way down at Meijer and we decided to get it and hide it for his birthday.  Everyone gave him something to go with it like the helmet, goggles and gloves.  He was excited and rode it a little bit but he was wore out and voluntarily got off of it after a short ride.  He asked to be allowed to go inside and build his new Legos.   Around 4:30 p.m he said his headache was a number 3.  I put Deep Relief on his neck and by 7:30 p.m. he said it was back down to 1/4.

I was so nervous to get up Monday morning.  I didn't think I could handle seeing him laying on the floor in pain and too dizzy to walk.  We so feared that the party would set him back.  Joe got up earlier and I rolled over and fell back asleep knowing that Daddy would care for Thomas.  When I woke up again (I'd put ear plugs in too), it was 8:30 a.m.!!  The house was pretty quiet but I could hear kids outside.  I peeked out our blinds and my heart leaped for joy.  I could see Thomas on his dirt bike riding down the driveway.   He wasn't dizzy and he was loving riding the little bike!

Now its Tuesday night and today went well too.  I continued alternating between Deep Relief and Rose every four hours.  He had an ounce of Ningxia too.  We did try some deep relief on his feet and right on his calf because he said his legs still really hurt even though his head barely did and he wasn't dizzy.  So happy to have had basically 5 good days in row!!

Tomorrow is our appointment with the Naturopath down in Indiana.  So excited to hear what he has to say so we can get our little buddy all better for good!
