As you can see from my last post, I was trying to get Brendan to sleep at midnight. Well, he didn't fall asleep until 5am! Then he got up at 8am. He had two episodes of agitation today.
The first episode was regarding the Barney videos. He was surfing ebay and pointed to a Barney video. Well, we had the video he wanted. I had taken it away from him several weeks ago due to his OCD behavior. Since he has been doing well, I told him he could have it again. I guess he was mad because we still had the video all this time, but he wasn't allowed to watch it.
The second episode I couldn't figure out what triggered it. He kept headbutting me and I kept asking him different questions about the videos thinking that's what his agitation was all about. If I am right in asking the question, he will say, 'yah'. If I am not asking the right question, he just doesn't answer me. Well, he wasn't answering me. Sometimes it is better for me not to talk to him and let him be. So that's what I did for about ten minutes. Then, it came to me.
Paul had opened our back door to put something in the compost bin. Not always, but lately, everytime we open the back door, Brendan gets agitated. Paul has been slowly cleaning up the backyard because the trees were overgrown and blocking the light. This stifles the energy flow and thus, feels more like negative energy (well at least it feels that way to me and obviously to Brendan!). So I asked Brendan, do you want me to spray some Holy Water around the house. He smiled and said, "YAH!" Well, that did it. After I sprayed the house, he was fine.
He was good the rest of the day/night and fell quickly to sleep by 10pm.

Parent update 7/30/11
Brendan was up at 5am againg this morning. He sounded distressed. So, instead of trying to get him back to sleep, we just started our day. He had another great day!! He also blew me a kiss for the first time. :) He took a nap from 5-8pm and now I am going to try to get him to sleep.

Parent update 7/29/11
Brendan woke up at 5am this morning, happy. As hard as I tried, he would not go back to sleep. So, we got up and got started with our morning routine. He became a little cranky around 7am. He looked sleepy, but still would not go back to sleep. So off to school he went.
He had a good day at school. He didn't even get mad after he checked the mailbox and it was empty. He was the happiest I have seen him in sometime. He only got fussy when I told him it was time to take his bath. He was so into listening to his music, but I could also tell he almost nodded off a few times. Normally, he would have headbutted me because he wasn't ready to take his bath. But he didn't. He did protest loudly, but that was it.
After his bath, he continued to listen to his music. I rewarded him throughout the day with money (quarters)for taking care of his CDs and videos. It wasn't until about 8pm, he wanted a refill on his blackbeans. I thought I would trust him and ran downstairs to refill his bowl. I also realized it was time to reward him with more quarters. But as I was halfway up the stairs, he broke a CD. SO, music time was over and he had to pay me for breaking his CD. I told him I was disappointed in him and that I still could not trust him to be left alone with his CDs/video. This is not the first time I have said this. When I reprimand him, he usually laughs OR gets mad. However, this time he truly looked remorseful.
He asked me to work on his head and belly again. Just a little heat/pulsing came out of his head. He was pretty tired, so he fell asleep within 30 minutes.
After his CST session on Monday night, he seemed calmer and more at peace. After his CST/homeopathy session yesterday, he seems happier. I cannot tell you how happy it makes me to see him happy again. I know tomorrow could be a different story, but I am grateful for the blessing I received today to see him smile more than he has in a long, long time.

Parent update 7/28/11
Brendan went to school and seemed fine. When I picked him up, he was crying and very upset. His speech therapist said that they went for a walk and because it was hot, they went to a shaded area. Well, there were lots of crows and an owl making noise and this upset him. They said, he never got back into the groove of his day.
So as we were driving to his CST appointment (he was still upset in the car) I asked him if the crows and the owl bothered him. He said, "yes". I asked him if he saw anything. He said "yes". When I ask Brendan if he 'sees anything' he knows that I mean energy fields, spirits, etc... I asked him if they bothered him, he said,"yes". So I reminded him that he can always tell them to 'go away' and to shine his inner white light which will protect him. [Note: I know some of you may find this strange, weird, unbelievable, etc.. But trust me. This is a case of 'been there, done that' and we have to keep doing it.]
His CST session was great as noted previous to my blog. After we left his session, we went to Target. Usually, people know when we have arrived as Brendan can be very loud. But this time, he walked in calmly, got his CD, we paid for it, and he walked out. Not a peep out of him. He seemed very calm and peaceful.
When we got home, he checked the mail. He wasn't upset this time that there wasn't any videos in it. I rewarded his good behavior with fifty cents. It was about 10 minutes later when he was on his computer and ebayed a Barney video that he wanted but we didn't have, then he headbutted me once. I made him pay me one dollar and he signed that he was sorry. The rest of the day he was great! He didn't break any CDs or video! He earned one dollar for his be gentle with his CDs and videos. [Note: He does understand the concept of money. He knows that he can only buy a video if he has enough money which he earns for good behavior and helping with chores.
Tonight as he was lying in his bed. I looked at his face and the area right between his eyebrows looked like it was protruding to me. It actually looked swollen. It didn't seem to bother him, but it did bother me. So, I asked him if he wanted me to work on his head and he said, 'yes'. The heat coming out of his forehead was amazing along with all the shifting I felt (my other hand was at the back of his head). He did ask me to work on his belly, but I didn't want to do that just yet because his head was so hot. Instead I gave him a break and then when I returned to his forehead, I kept my hand an inch above it because the direct contact was too much for him. There as still lots of heat. After about 10 more minutes, the heat finally started to decrease.
Wow! What a day. Before he fell asleep, he said, "bed". He will say this to me when he wants me to sleep next to him. He usually requests this if he isn't feeling well, or in this case, I know it is because of the nightmare he had. So, I will. I pray that he has a good night sleep tonight and wake up happy.

homeopath update 7/28/11
Yes today was amazing!!!!
Below is an audio presentation of Dr. Tiller talking about his work. He is the second speaker.
This is the first I have heard of mixing Quantum laser and homeopathy. I can't wait to see how Brendan is doing.
CST Session 7/28/11
What a day!!! Brendan came in with his ear phones on and patiently sat waiting for his session. Brendan's session began with Linda, the homeopath, introducing a new method for integrating homeopathic remedies.
Linda heard a talk from Dr. Tiller of Stanford speaking about the use of a quantum laser, homepathic remedies and glass. She proceeded to put the remedy between the glass and we set the laser to 'brain'; shining the laser through the glass on the top of his skull. CST work was being down on his right leg and foot. At this point we decided to film what we were doing. A little chaotic; but Brendan handled himself extremely well.
As some point a message came from God to add holy water to the remedy between the glass so we did. Brendan immediately became very calm. His eyes seemed very tired and were softly closing. Linda continued circulating the laser/remedy around his skull following funnels that could be felt. First left, then right; ultimately right center, center.
At this point the temporal portion of his brain (both sides) became very active. We started on the right as that side was not as fluffly as the left. After doing the right - which did fluff - she went to the left.
Following this it was clear a cranial vault integration needed to be done. His frontal bone was very tight with a lot of energy pushing from the brain towards the frontal bone. The frontal bone felt almost like a plate at one point - but became clear it was the bone.
Following decompression of the frontal, temporal, parietals, O/A energetic funnels started coming out of all sides. It felt the center of his brain had a trapped helix ball of energy and the energy was exiting through the closest exit.
Overall, throughout the session Brendan laughed, communicated, participated and his speech softened. He even shook the CST therapist hand saying thank you.
When he left the therapy room he put his socks and shoes back on and jumped around. It was clear his right leg and foot appeared better connected. We explained to Brendan he may feel 'air (energy)' coming out of the areas mentioned above and to ask his mother to place her hand over those spots should he need it.
When he was outside going to the car he appeared much more connected to what was going on around him. We could all see it in his eyes and demeanor; plus there were moments of deep comtemplation on his behalf. He left serene-like (for lack of a better term).
We are excited to hear the update from his parents. It was an awesome session!!!!!!! Stay tuned.

Parent update 7/28/11
Brendan had a great day yesterday (Weds)!! His Dad said he did headbutt him a few times, but it wasn't out of frustration or anger. It was more like he was trying to shift his skull. Also, he didn't break any CDs!!
He finally slept through the night, but this morning, he woke up screaming! He was so upset and sobbing. I went into his room to console him. I was able to draw him out of this by reciting Barney videos! It worked. Think he had a nightmare. Poor guy! We'll see how today goes....
