on hold :(

*sigh*

Poor, poor NBear got so sick this week. It started as a high fever for a few days, and then the doc told us it was the dreaded strep-throat. *sob*

She is now on antibiotics for 10 days (thank goodness she can take pills - her biomeds program has been giving her a lot of practice!), and - as per Dr. Mielke - we will have to stop chelating until she gets better.

I am more horrified at the fact that she has been getting really bad nosebleeds for the past 3 days. Nosebleeds run in my family (along with the much-envied bad tempers and OCD), but this is crazy! NBear's nosebleeds are like Morton Salt's motto: When it rains....yup, you know the rest! They can easily last between 5-7 minutes, at the least. "Nose is bleeding" was an easy phrase for her to learn.

I'm hoping this bloody episode is not a result of the DMSA in our chelation program.
Really, really hoping.
