Hope for the hopeful?

We started using Essential Oils on Brayden to manage/treat his BHS on Thursday May 2, 2013.  We use Frankincense on the bottoms of his big toes, Balance (an oil blend) on the bottoms of his feet, and Serenity (an oil blend) on the back of his neck.  We apply these oils once a day in the morning.  We use lavender on his temples at night for a sound night sleep.  So here is this week's count...

                                     Night Episodes: 0

                                     Simple BHS: 0

                                     Severe BHS: 0

                                     Seizures: 0

I am hesitant to give credit to the oils due to having my hopes up and disappointment to follow shortly behind in the past, with this condition.  But I am enjoying the peace of this week and I hope and pray its the oils working, and that they continue to do so!

There is still work to be done.  Brayden is still a bit of a restless sleeper, and when he gets really upset he does lose his breath briefly (not even long enough to turn blue or purple), but he catches his breath and continues to breathe which is an incredible improvement!  We also need to work on fattening Brayden back up!  We just found out he is only in the 3rd percentile for weight, which I know is due to the Keppra.  This should be an easy task as his appetite has been getting better and better since coming off the Keppra.  

It wouldn't be right for me to end this blog update without giving the info and spreading the word on where to order these oils.  You can click on the following link or copy and paste it into your web browser:  http://www.mydoterra.com/lisacramer.  Lisa Cramer was incredibly helpful. She did not mind all of my questions on how and where to apply the oils, and trust me I had plenty!  When you are at a point where you aren't satisfied with the information and help your child is receiving this is an out of the ordinary, but very helpful place to turn. When you are getting nowhere, you have nothing to lose.  I am not the first person getting results from these oils either.  I recommend giving them a try.  One thing to remember is the world of medicine can not cross the world of natural healing.  So if your child is currently taking medicine and you are not getting results, speak to your medical professional to get information on how to take your child off of all medications before starting these oils.

If you have followed my blog from the beginning, or quickly read through it one night, you know the struggle we have been through in getting answers.  The roller coaster ride of hopes.  The emotional let down in experiencing not being able to help your own child.  Then you completely understand how thankful I am for the week we just had!
