New progress

We had a new family in the neighborhood this school year. Not new anymore since we see them everyday. One child in the family has some minor quirks, sometimes trouble in school - mostly handwriting, and the mom mentioned medication.

I have mentioned NCD the possible good it could do. She said she might be interested, but didn't really seem to be. I suspect she was just being polite to me. Unfortunately, doctors/insurance/schedules conspired such that she her supply of medication for her child has run low and she needs some other alternatives.

Last week, she finally tried NCD. I advised her to start very slowly, just adding one drop each day. She has now worked up to 5 and 5 (day 7), forgoing a late dose to avoid any sleeping issues. Just today she said that she hasn't had to remind him to do things in the morning. A small gain, perhaps, plus a modicum of extra peace on busy mornings. She has seen nothing negative thus far. We'll see how it works out...
