END OF BRAINCORE

Cayden had his last session of braincore today and will no longer need anymore so far. He is allowed to have home braincore if needed but to go to the doctor to have it done so far so good. Shelly his braincore buddy has to fax the paperwork in to Doctor Guy and he will give the final go if we need more or if he is totally done, Dr. Everrett will be using Cayden as an ad in the paper with his photo and my testimony on braincore. She even wants to use him on the tv to show people how well this braincore works. People with only one problem only needs 20 but Cayden had multiple problems and he is a totally different person.

Oh and I went to the doctor about his heat stroke and they told me that he has a thermal deficit disorder something like that, I will try to explain this so bare with me. His body cannot regulate his temps, He sweats but he doesnt sweat enough to cool off his body so he is easily suseptible to getting heat strokes. He is to drink gatorade when in the heat like when he went to the fair. The doctor asked me about how we keep him regulated and I never did think about him when we first brought him home. It would be freezing cold but if we put warm clothes on he would get a fever but he never sweated. He would turn beet red and I would have to strip him back down. She asked me what I do at home and he normally just wears his underwear unless we are going somewhere but then we keep him in the coolest clothes possible.

We have an emergency guide for the school. And the school and I have decided it is best if I accompany him to all field trips.

It's so good you can communicate at school and places where a decision is needed and no knowledge of his condition is known to them and that's great his school agrees and I'm praying you can get all of this taken care of for his benefit!!

 

I can only imagine how he has to handle many problems where most only has one problem that's a heave load to handle at his age!!!
