Day 6 - Oprah
I just did radiation today - no chemo. I feel much better than yesterday - I was actually able to eat lunch today. I felt better so I went to get a very short haircut. I was told that my chemo drug causes hair loss and usually starts in week 2. So I went ahead and got it cut short. By the way I was watching Oprah about autism. It is very scary to think if your child is diagnosed with autism. But according to this show, there is a hope for recovery. Really great news. The guest was Jenny McCarthy, whose son has autism and in recovery. I hope Kai never gets autism but if it happens, there's hope for recovery. It is a great story.

Bet you look great with short hair.
Gesh, have to remember to sign in before typing, your comments are immediately posted. To continue, Val has done a lot of research on aspergers, in the autism spectrum. If autism is the same, you will start to notice changes around the age of 2. Immediate therapy is the key, at least that is the current idea from what little they know. Rebecca
As far as autism goes, I think it's a fallacy that it can be treated. I think it gives families false hope. I hope I'm wrong, but at any rate, one of the most telling clues seems to be if your child isn't pointing to things by age 2. Keep an eye on Kai and his development, not that you wouldn't.
I was wondering too after reading your earlier post if it wouldn't help with the nausea to keep a bowl of coffee beans, or something you really like the smell of, handy and if you smell something that makes you nauseous, quickly smell the good thing, like cinnamon. Who knows? Worth trying.

I changed the setting so anybody should be able to post comments now without registering with google. Let me know if it doesn't work.
