With those burns, there's no way Kevin can or will get the sun exposure he needs to produce enough naturally.<br /><br />I live far enough north where everyone has to use supplements, even during the summer. And when I'm low on my vitamin D, I have a really hard time getting to sleep or going to sleep at any regular time.<br /><br />I wonder if someone could test his levels for you. It's one of those things that could fall through the cracks . . . but vitamin D deficiency has a whole host of bad symptoms (including mood problems.)<br /><br />And the 400 ius in a multivitamin are not nearly enough. I take 3,000 in winter and 2,000 in summer. If I take any less I can feel it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6815867650533403423.post-33324490399440736682010-08-18T20:38:34.277-05:002010-08-18T20:38:34.277-05:00It is nice to to hear you sound so "up"....It is nice to to hear you sound so "up".

Its what the body makes naturally to let your body know its time for sleep. You can buy it at walmart even. I've often wondered if the part of his brain that tells his body to produce that chemical was injured when you talk about how hard it is for him to fall asleep.Heathernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6815867650533403423.post-18392597632958859692010-08-18T07:56:37.576-05:002010-08-18T07:56:37.576-05:00Wonderful news about Kevin saying more words on hi...Wonderful news about Kevin saying more words on his own!!! Like the one lady said, it's all there and that it just needs to come out. How exciting! You know it's like teaching your kids early on- trying to get them to say words and understand them. Then one day they are just talking up a storm! Kevin has the advantage though as he already knows all of the words. How exciting! :)<br />Have a great day! <br />Kathy in IAAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6815867650533403423.post-40498191561884460372010-08-18T06:44:34.763-05:002010-08-18T06:44:34.763-05:00Leslie, I'm so happy for you guys! That is so...Leslie, I'm so happy for you guys! That is so great that Kevin is making such strides in his recall of words and all. I'm with you, I think in a couple of years, he'll be going "great guns".... I bet Kevin is proud of himself when he does it too. Makes me smile to think of it!<br /><br />Have a wonderful day!<br />AnitaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
