Visit with the doctor and summer planning

We took Xavier to the doctor on Monday to talk about treatment options and to see if the doctor would be supportive of alternate therapies. The doctor had a med student shadowing him so it was a packed house. Xavier was really cool with the med student and they talked about how she was a UW student (we are a WSU family). I have to say I really like Xavier's new doctor. He listened to all our plans and took notes so he could do some research on the therapies we wanted to look into. He's willing to talk with Xavier's Neurologist to get medication information. Xavier would really like to avoid medications. We have put him on a slew of supplements - multi-vitamin/mineral, lobelia, melatonin, probiotics and an omega blend. He was worried that the omega blend would have fish oils but it turned out to be all vegetarian so he takes his supplements without arguing. He understands that if this works then he won't have to take medication.
School gets out on Friday so we're starting to plan Xavier's summer. This summer Rob will be home, at least most of the time. Rob is trying to come up with a way to work from home so he can be around more and to do something that he loves. We don't know what will happen but it's a relief to have someone to watch over Xavier. Xavier can stay home by himself - he did it most of last summer but he spends his time snacking and watching tv because he can't really leave the house. We tried to set up some activities but without an adult to see he got to where he needed to go he ended up missing out. As I am writing this, Xavier is supposed to be coming up with a plan for his summer. I was going to enroll him in the library volunteer program but he swears he's too busy to do the library work. He wants to work on being more fit and to do cooking experiments with his Dad. He's, also, working towards his Eagle rank with the Scouts and has a few merit badges to work on. He may have an Eagle project in the works if he can put in the work to get the credit (it's designing and installing a flag pole in our apartment complex - his new scoutmaster is also the maintenance man for our complex). He has a lot of plans but I want him to come up with a way of completing the tasks he needs to. He has until the 25th to convince me that his plan is better than my plan (that's the last training for the library program). I think he'll have a good summer, I just don't want it wasted in front of the tv.
