Today we went to see a homeopath in Narberth PA named Todd Hoover MD. It was nice to have a doctor who was also trained in homeopathy. Anyway, he asked a lot of questions about his personality, ear infection, history in general and then he observed him. He said the following: 1. That Max is a strong willed kid- YEAH I KNOW JUST LIKE HIS MOM2. He also said that Max is cautious as well as fearless-YEAH JUST LIKE HIS MOM3. He gets frustrated easily-YEAH JUST LIKE HIS MOM4. He is physically very strong-YEAH JUST LIKE HIS MOM.Anyway, the list goes on but he did say that he feels that Max does not have food allergies but that his head produces a lot of mucous and that the mucous gets trapped and then turns to wax etc. He made some suggestions for supplements and I was impressed and it takes a lot to impress me since I read so many damn health books. So after talking he suggested a homeopathic remedy-one that will address his ears, teething and sleeping issues. I am hoping that it works so we do not have to keep trying. BUT I am still taking his to his Ear, Nose and Throat apt to hear about TUBES because this kid just cannot get past the ear infections and his MOMMA is getting pretty tired too. On another note, I am trying yogurt again because he loved it so much. I am going to see if he has any allergies-such as a rash or something like that and if not-well then he will eat some dairy. As for wheat, I am introducing it slowly. As long as he is getting calcium and drinking his Neocate, a substitute for dairy, which has all of the same building blocks as milk, then I don’t care BUT I have to admit that it is hard having his ears hurt and hard watching him in pain and hard knowing that no matter what I do that I cannot entirely fix it. I guess this is the biggest lesson that I have learned being a momma to Max. I can only do my best and be there for him. UGH
