Some Dillie updates

so I took Dillie in to the Dr last week for a few issues, he is still limpingbut not nearly as much as before so I had his DR look at it, said it looks fine and nothng wrong so I feel better now that he saw his actual dr, and the limping is finally almost gone now.
He also is soooo sensitive to noise, and I mean REALLY. he freaks out over trucks and mototcycles and just about dies when there is a parade or fireworks. It's actually very sad.

I feel so bad for him he cries so hard he breaks a sweat and starts to shake, no needless to say we have not been able to see fireworks or go to a parade in YEARS.

so last friday we went to the pumpkin farm with his class and they had a tractor hayride, well of course he freaked out because the tractor was too loud so we stayed behind. So I finally decided..."hmm this is not normal" so took him in, they are going to do a hearing test and get this..he may have a magnesium definciancy! isn't that crazy??? he said sometimes not enough magnesium can result in extra sensitivity to noise!

who woulda thunk?!?!? so we started him on some vitamins with magnesium and he will have a hearing test in the next few weeks and see what happens... crazy stuff!

Hmm, that's interesting, I never knew that! Jacob has that kind of sensitivity to sound too... not as extreme as you described but we NEVER EVER go anywhere NEAR fireworks... and he has totally freaked out over balloons popping in the past. The kid eats almost nothing so I wouldn't be surprised if it was a vitamin deficiency.

I've never heard of it. I hope taking a daily vitamin helps! It will be great if there's an easy fix.

thanks ladies!! I am hoping this will do it! He is a miserable child and it kills me to see him freak out like that

That is very interesting. Lily will cover her ears over things that just don't seem that loud to me so the mag deficiency thing could very well be it. She doesn't exactly have the most balanced diet lol.
