I’m at the NIH in Bethesda
Yesterday, Aidan and I arrived here at the Children's Inn at the NIH, where we met up with old friends Meredith Morgan and her son Parker. Parker arrived a week ago to be in the same study as Aidan, on transcranial electromagnetic stimulation, where a couple of pinpointed regions of the brain are stimulated with very low voltage. The treatment has been beneficial to some degree for some patients, and the side-effects are negligible, so both our families have agreed to put our Childhood Onset Schizophrenia kids into the study.
I'm going to be here until the 25th, and I'm hoping to meet up with Treach and some of the other Daily Caller people. Aidan's godfather, Bob Schwoch, may come visit, as well. Daily visiting hours begin at 4:30, so I'm probably going to have to watch The B-Cast on replay. I'll be posting, too, but I can't say yet whether it's going to be with any frequency, since I don't have a laptop, and I'll be relying on the shared computers here. I'll also be over there when Aidan undergoes his battery of brain scans and other testing.
Anyway, if you are in DC, or going to be in DC or the environs, and would like to meet up, contact me via email and we'll see what we can do.
UPDATE: Pretty clear that I'm going to have to use Safari, since whatever they've done with Firefox makes it incompatible with posting.
Follow Dan!

My best wishes to you and Aidan, Dan. The rest of us will try and hold down the fort for you until your return.
Maybe you all can fit a little sightseeing time in while you’re in DC. It’s a lovely city, my favorite; except that the humidity is sooooooo stifling in the summertime.
It’s like residing in a dog’s mouth, or something.
I’ll keep y’all in my prayer list. Believe for great outcomes, muh man.

In 2004, my 2 kids and I spent 10 days at the NIH so they could be screened for immune problems. They were caring and responsive during our stay, kept in touch with us all these years, and tried to help us get the best outcomes with our local physicians.
During the past 6 years, we know that some of the things the NIH doctors learned from studying our kids has enabled them to help other people. In addition, earlier this year, the NIH notified us that they had made breakthroughs and might be able to help one of our kids.
Thanks for doing what you’re doing. It can help people and hopefully it will help your kids.

Best of luck, Dan…I hope all goes well for Aidan.
My youngest was diagnosed with a schizotypal disorder at 13. He’s now 20, preparing for his junior year in college, and medication-free.
And let me know if there’ll be a tweet-up…I’m only an hour south of DC.
