Welcome to RecoveringNicholas.com.  I’ve created this space on the web to keep an ongoing journal of Nicholas’s progress.  I’m including everything I can that I feel is relevant from birth to the present; his supplements, hyperbaric oxygen (hbot) therapy, other therapies, his highs and lows - anything I can think of to keep it all organized in one place so I can easily find things.   Included in these things will be rants, emotion, thought processes, etc - for the main reason being - I need to clear my head - all of these details are just swimming around and I need to get my clarity back.  :)  

I also can’t stop thinking of what would happen to him if something happened to me.  No one would know what I know.  No one would know why he takes various supplements or even what they do for him.  No one would know what I was going to do next, what my thoughts are on everything.   Precious time would be lost in getting him recovered and I can’t live with that thought.  So…. Nicholas’s Story consists of three sections; Allergies, Journal & Supplements.  Allergies contains information about his allergies to various foods. His journal contains his day to day progress and the Supplements section contains Nicholas’s current supplement recipe.

I recently updated this blog to include a recovery guide.  This guide is full of info I have found useful during our journey to recovery and thought others might find it useful as well.  You can access the guide by clicking the links on the top of this site;

1 Diagnosis: Autism - contains information for parents whose child has been recently diagnosed.
2 Vaccines - contains information & news regarding vaccines
3 Biomed - information regarding Biomedical information as it pertains to Autism
4 Resources - Books, Websites, Groups, Blogs & Info - list of all of the resources I have found useful
5 Recoveries - Stories of other children who are recovering or who have recovered
6 News - news articles, research, video and news stories which are relevant
7 Prevention - information I have found regarding preventing your child (or future children) from having Autism

So, please feel welcome to look around, comment, ask questions, etc.   Feel free to email me if you are also on this journey and need help, want to bounce something off of someone or simply just want to talk!  mom{at}recoveringnicholas.com  (replace the {at} with the @)

If you don’t think you can what you need to do to recover your child, then please e-mail me - you absolutely have what it takes to recover your child! We all started slow, one step at a time…. it’s a marathon - not a race.

Just wanted to add that I have now gotten Daddy blogging about Nicholas as well, so you can expect to see some posts from Dad in between my posts.
