QEEG


The boy's both had a partial QEEG . A QEEG maps the brain at 19 different points and basically can tell you what is working, over working, and not working at all. With this QEEG you can see patterns that are common for different disorders. ADHD for example has a pretty normal pattern. Thomas did not have this pattern on the QEEG . He only got mapped at two points. We would need to do the full QEEG to see if he really does not have ADHD, but he looked like maybe his real problem is stress. His brain looks like someone who is never able to relax, like he is up in a tree afraid to be hurt. It's amazing you can actually see this on his brain. If he does not have ADHD, then it means he needs counseling, and Nero feedback to help him feel safe. Thomas was not adopted until he was almost 7 years old. That is a long time to "make it alone". Philip had a clear brain map of someone with ADHD. We need to get him on drug therapy. He eats allot of sugar. The Dr said that 60 % of all sugar is processed in the brain. Philip is self medicating by eating sugar. He is trying to simulate his brain that just does not function as it should. Our next step is to get a full QEEG for both boys. We also want to try to get a QEEG for Jessica. I'm going to be researching Nero feedback for the treatment of ADHD, Anxiety, and Autism. We maybe able to buy a Nero feedback software program to use at home. First I need to research it, and also get Jessica, Philip, and Thomas' brain mapped.

chicken coop idea

Why not start with an IBC and cut a hole for the door? You could build closed laying boxes into it, and something for the chickens to roost on. Put some straw or saw dust on the floor. You could add vents to the side for air. If it sat inside a chicken run that you can walk into, the chickens could be safe, dry and happy. I have an extra IBC. Maybe this could be my chicken house? I bet I could even plant the outside of it with mud and grass for extra insulation and good looks.

Reading Kingdom

I am very happy to review the Reading Kingdom.   This is an online program that uses a variety of methods to teach reading.   I decided to share this product with my adopted granddaughter Ruth.   Reading kingdom uses a six skills integrative method Ruth only just began to use the program. She is only 3 years old and cannot use the program without help.   But her mom says that she can already recognize words like girl and kids when they are shown on the screen.   Sylvia wrote that she loves the repetition of the words in the program .   That Ruth is memorizing the words she sees.     She will be able to use it for an entire year.   But I expect her to become a very good reader.   And what a great gift to give to any child!   She will have a lifetime love for books.     Sylvia also works with teenage mothers in Uganda.   And many of these women have never attended school.   So she plans to use these ideas to h...

Happy Birthday to Jessica

Today Nicole and I took Jessica shopping. She turns 22 years old tomorrow. She has grown over the past year. She now likes her disabled workshop. And she has begun to learn to write again on the computer. It is a slow process, but maybe she can write independently in the next 5 years. Her teacher is wonderful. We are very blessed to have her help! If I stopped and thought about what Jessica might be doing if she was healthy, it could break my heart. Birthdays should be happy, but when your child is disabled it's always bitter sweet. Bitter because of the milestones that were never met, and sweet because of the person that is still very valuable and wonderful. But I'm sure everyone feels bitter sweet about something in your life. Life is never only sweet. For me it is much better to fix my eyes on what is there and let go of what I hoped for...what every parent hopes for. Jess bought a new book, 3 DVD's and a Fanta. I also took her to McDonalds because that is ...
