We all have been busy Learning about Victoria!

It's been a very busy week. We discovered that our ceiling has water spots and found out that we have a roof that is leaking in three places. Great! Things brings the issue of mold in the house. We have also been busy learning about Victoria. She sure has come a long way this past month. With that being said, I have been able to see things with her that are not right or are a little off. Something maybe that only mothers can see. We know when things are just not right with our children... Right? I have been searching for a doctor that can really help Victoria with things like: nutrition, immune system, supplements & vitamins, to really learn Victoria, and possible detox from all of her meds that she has been on this past 8 months. If I listed them all, you would be amazed that a little one less than 2 years old could have had all of them in her little body. Oh, not to leave out that she had an xray every day for the past 7 months. I was wondering what that could have done to her little body too. Thanks to Doctor Courtnee, she recommended Dr. Udell. Not knowing what to expect, I called and made an appointment with him last week even though he did not have an appointment open until mid Dec., I guess my years in sales does pay off... He focuses on the things I listed. Come to find out, he discovered that miss V is full and I mean full of candida yeast. He put her on a strict routine to detox her from this nasty yeast. He told me that the symptoms that I described to him about V could all be from the yeast. Like being irritable and unable to sleep, rashes, zoning out, almost like she is not with it. I noticed that about 2 months ago. She started starring at her finger almost like she was stoned looking at it and also grinding off her teeth. He informed me that is like an autistic stim and could be caused by the yeast. Victoria also stopped smiling. So after one week of this doc's routine, she is now smiling more, playing more, not looking at her finger as much, and is less irritable. This stuff could take months to totally come out of her body. Dr. Udell believes that the yeast came about because of so many antibiotics and a weak immune system. Just a peak of what antibiotics she has had this past 8 months:

Zosyn, vancomycin, cipro, cleocin, zaroxolyn, zyvox, fortez, ampicillian, amoxicillian, cefepine, keflex and Victoria is still on bactrium for her week immune system.

The bottom line - V has been more herself the last couple of days and we see this doc again in 3 weeks to continue to clean her out and strengthen her immune system. He is also looking for a good nutritionist for her too. I believe nutrition improvements along with supplements will make a big difference to her development.
