The latest on Dad, School and Home

Since last time I blogged my dad has rallied and I started school. Things have settled down a bit here at home and I am feeling a lull in the stress level.

I have talked to my dad about every other day since I heard of his condition and a week ago he was in a coma. The last few times I talked to him he talked back to me and aside from sounding weak he carried on a conversation as he might have always. He has even been out of bed and used the walker! I’m scheduled to fly out to see him on Friday this week. It has been 6 years since I saw my dad last and I am a little scared about what I am going to see, but I know for sure that I do want to see him again. It just feels right and I am so happy that I am getting this chance again. I also will get to see the rest of my family there in Ohio and that is just frosting on the cake and I can’t wait! It doesn’t matter how long it has been, love never goes away and I feel the love and look forward to reconnecting with everyone there. I have things covered here at home and know that I can leave with peace of mind and that the “boys” will have a fun weekend too.

School is great. It has been 21 years since I graduated cosmetology school and I honestly don’t think I had this much fun in school then. The instructors are amazing and my classmates are great too. Each day you get to give and receive a massage. We have a big class and are encouraged to pick someone new each day to learn about different body types and get out of your box so to speak. I jumped right on that and dove right in and have lost all anxiety about doing this. I love it. I am definitely headed in the right direction. This is what I want to do for sure. I already have a list of classes I want to take next to take this to the type of practice I want to do. It is amazing how these things just seem to unfold and I am holding space for it all to come together just as it should.

It has been suggested and just keeps coming up for Scott to have chelation for heavy metals. When he saw Dr. Lam they did detect lead and other heavy metals but chose to not do chelation as I guess there were other things they felt needed to be addressed first. I guess that there have been cases where people were diagnosed with having ALS and actually had lead poisoning. I guess it is hard to detect because after time it isn’t found in the blood because it has traveled to the muscles and bones and nerves where it does damage. We found that you can do oral chelation and also found a couple of local doctors that do it. This is our next step. Keep praying and sending love and healing energy our way. I have been praying for some kind of treatment to show itself and I think we might be on to something here. Can’t hurt to try.

I struggle with this blog in that I want to let everyone know what is going on but I don’t want to put out too much negativity towards the situation as I do believe that we get what we put  out there and I am super sensitive to that especially right now. We need as much positive energy towards this situation as we can get right now. Things have changed significantly since the beginning of the summer and it is evident that something needs to happen soon to help. So I am asking again for everyone to continue to pray, send energy, positive thoughts or whatever means you personally use our way and want to express my gratitude for all that have been all along and continue to do so. Love to you all.
