oh. my. word..... 2 weeks ago was the most taxing time in my life that I can remember!.. as most know Caleb has been suffering since September!.. I have worried (know that is a sin, repented!!!!) it is just NOT normal for a 9 year old kid to not be able to run, jump, play, skip without having terrible pains... we had done close to $7000 dollars of blood work with NOTHING... other than Lyme's disease.............. sooooooooo we tried Gluten free, well it worked but still at times he would suffer... I would blame myself when he would start hurting.. like maybe I had got a little lax with food... BUT still something was still not right.. God just kept impressing on me that it was more!
Tuesday of last week I was a whist end, I was done, I had thrown my hands up! Caleb had been suffering for a week and a half, I mean terribly! he was having a hard time walking with his hip and was just miserable! to be honest I was REALLY concerned, confused and determined to find out what was ailing my son!.. poor Angela H. she sent me a text to see how Caleb was and I immediately called her back and started sobbing!.. she has NEVER seen or heard me like this!.. thankfully she was full of grace and love!.. then I talked to Ms. Judi and we PRAYED hard for Caleb, and she reminded me of the Saliva test lady.. (my neighbor Darlene) to be honest it was expensive, so I called Doug and I said as I was balling my eyes out.. "honey I need $125.00!!!" of course he hates to see me upset! He said do it! what did we have to lose??
Darlene gave me all the tools to do the test and I dropped all the stuff in her mailbox the next morning and with in 2 hours she called me with the results.. remember we had had blood work, prick test and MULPITLE doctors visits since Caleb was a newborn till last Wednesday, with no answers!..
The results were that Caleb was intolerant, sensitive, or allergic to
Corn, Yeast, Gluten, Pork, Shellfish, All Dairy(including goat)
Yes, this is hard BUT we have been on a lean meat, fruit and veggie diet since last Wednesday and I am HAPPY to report that he is doing well! no ailments and he is doing things that all children can do!
I have had many tell me that they are so thankful for me continuing to search for answers for Caleb, I am thankful that God continued to reveal to me that we had something deeper!...
Even in the midst of dark times for Caleb I know God is was faithful, He cares, and He is Good!
