It was about worms. Couldn't eat, kept thinking about them and getting sick.
Now Will has the same kind of thing going on. Can't eat for DAYS if he's
seen worms. But you know, we had our little learning co-op a couple of weeks
ago and it was all about WORMS. He did fine with the ideas of worm castings,
etc., but when it was time to put his worm in the bottle to take home to
watch it make tunnels, he couldn't do it. Michelle did it for him, and he
looked at the tunnels later, but only after I made sure the worm wasn't in
them. He did see worms that day, and when I told everyone about it, he still
was able to eat some at snacktime. I think it worked a little to make him
less sensitive about it.
Maybe if you went ahead and thought about it some more and got used to the
idea? Take deep breaths and run it through your head like a movie? Kind of
like when someone has a phobia about escalators they take them to ride one in
the mall?

I had to laugh at this because I was thinking the exact same thing and
wondered if I was some horrific person because everyone here was so grossed
out. I love that stuff. I'm always watching trauma in the ER and paramedics
and CSI is our family favorite. When I was six I announced that I wanted to
become a coroner! I always stayed up late to watch Quincy, M.E. Oddly, I
never did even though I still love it. I have some serious medical problems
myself so I have to do several different types of daily injections. My hubby
can't even watch me fill the syringe without feeling sick. But then again he
fears ever crossing me cuz poking him with on of those needles would be
enough to give him a heart attack.LOL I think he'd just as soon drive himself
to the hospital if he did what Keith did, because he knows I'd be thrilled to
get to operate. LOL
Have a great day everyone.

but I've seen that stuff work at calming an injured child down over and over
again, and I'm a believer. We were at the zoo Friday and one of the little
kids in our co-op fell off the bleachers and cut his head open. This is a
kid who screams in terror or rage or whatever at the slightest blip. His
mother didn't know what to do except hold him, and I had her apply pressure
to the wound, and then someone whipped out the Rescue Remedy. He was
screaming and crying and bleeding. I sprayed it on his head and grabbed one
of his wrists and gave him another squirt. He didn't know what it was. But
he literally stopped crying within 5 seconds!
I had been skeptical until that point. All the people I'd seen it used on
were capable of "believing" in it. This kid didn't even know what it was,
and he's known as a screamer who won't stop until he's good and done.
Sandra, maybe you can keep some around for YOURSELF, in case you have to do
that queasy stuff again.
