SNAP

Preschool project brought gluten into my home..

which was ingested this morning by 

.. Little Man…

we induced vomiting & necessary extra things….

but there is NO guarantee what we did is sufficient..

HIS grace IS..

for what EVER is coming..

please pray for our Little Man

Gluten is about the WORST thing in the world for him..

like Buddy getting peanuts

but an EPI doesn't help…

please pray that our efforts were enough

and

that IF they weren't

God's amazing grace would see us through

YET another storm

Last time there was..

accidental gluten ingestion..

little man was violently ill 

with neuro and psych symptoms for 

about 30 days

and then his little gut was wrecked

so he underwent

about 60 days of detox repair for infection etc

(yes totally DR supervised.. a REAL MD and all!)

it was 3 months people

3 months of hell

for him

for us

it was painful.

all around

and we aren't exactly OVER the experience here

and none of us want to 

REPEAT it

ever.

no.

not EVER.

The New York Times had this

pretty good article on the topic of

gluten and neuro/psych issues

CLICK HERE

for any of you interested in learning about it..

I know that the whole 

"gluten free" movement has many

rolling their eyes…

lots of people think it's a fad…

but in my house..

it's as scary as a bee sting on Buddy …

whose anaphylactic

we don't mess with bees

or peanuts

or gluten around here…

 so far.. no call from school..

 thank you all for prayers !!! 

KEEP THEM COMING

 as you are led through out the day!

  Lord willing we got it OUT of hm… 

Either way.. Jesus HAS this.. 

It's just SO hard.. because in EVERY real sense of the word,

"nothing"..

there IS nothing..

 nothing that I can do..

I can ONLY pray.. 

ONLY hope.. 

ONLY trust.. 

ONLY wait on our King… 

And IF he wants our family to go through this dark and horrible valley again.. 

than I KNOW HE will see us through it.. 

with out me trying to do this, or that to fix, or fuss.. 

HE really REALLY has us.. in the palm of HIS hands.. a

nd I KNOW that is supposed to "FEEL" so comforting.. 

but it scares the CRAP out of me ! 

at the same time as bringing me comfort.. 

just being real… j

just.. saying… 

it's like free falling into a bottomless pit.. 

and just … trusting the bungee cord AIN'T gonna snap!
