pam--that breathing out the left nostril would certainly work for me! i have a deviated septum and can't breathe out of that side of my nose. i would lose my whole 195lbs at once! lol, i will try sitting upright in a chair and having tea. that does sound pleasant, and relaxing.
sorry things aren't totally better with ethan. i think we were all hopeful this diet would work. poor kid, and poor family who love him! having a sick child is so tough and makes you doubt your worthiness as a parent because you can't 'make it better'. my heart and prayers go out to you all.
