Tiring kind of day

I would like to begin by saying that Megan came home yesterday in a much better mood. I was still suffering from my migraine and she cleaned the kitchen for me! Yeah!!!!

Megan had her regular appointment with her therapist today. I was in on the session, and Megan was very impulsive and energetic during the whole session. The therapist was not able to get much done, because Megan kept switching subjects mid-sentence, would leave the area, or would start kissing on me, licking me or patting on me or throwing herself at me. It was very tiresome for me trying to keep her under control. And she kept complaining of being hungry (we ate 30 min. before the appointment). Once we left the appointment we went straight to get her something to eat. After taking one bite she announced that she was not hungry!!!!!! Ugghhh!!!! I took her back to school and informed her teacher of Megan' s impulsiveness and elevated mood level. He said that she has been very hyper since returning from the hospital. At the beginning of the year we had Megan on the GFCF diet and limited her sugar intake. Since going back to college I had been pretty lax since finding GFCF products can be time consuming. After dropping Megan off at school I drove 30 miles to a Kroger store in Spring (which I had been told had gluten free) products. After walking all over the store I found a section of Natural Food Products including some gluten free products. Below is what I bought. I was excited to find pre-made bread! I had been told that they had gf pretzels but I did not find any.

I am going to try being real strict on the GFCF diet again and see if we see any improvement. They only alternative I can think of would be to put her back on an ADHD medicine which makes her even more moody. So keeping our fingers crossed that this works.

In regards to the appointment with the Learning Center at Texas Children's. I called again to day and her file is still being reviewed. I left another message! If I don't hear back by Friday, I am going to call her pediatrician's office to see of they can help speed things up.

Hi Megan's Mom!
The GF pretzels my girls eat are made by Glutino (they love the pretzel sticks). I've noticed that they are turning up in local grocery stores like Kroger. You can also get them at Whole Foods or order them online: http://www.glutenfree.com/crackers-snacks-candies/pretzels/category5848

Thanks. I hope that this Kroger carries the pretzels but just were out that day.
