Health Issues .... (Wordless Wednesday Below)

We had the kids to the doctor today. We were there for over 2 hours...ugh! While we were waiting for one of the drs., the kids went outside to run around. They came storming back in and very loudly said, "There's a snake out there!" By the time they got back outside it had gone down into a hole. Becca said it was right by her foot and it's head "went back" as if to strike. I thank the Lord it did not.

Katie has some things going on with her "gut" and I'm starting to feel overwhelmed with this. She doesn't sleep well even after starting the melatonin. We will now be giving her an additional supplement for sleeping. She will be taking another 'B' supple. and another. I asked about a sleep study but the dr. would like her to try this extra supplement first. She is taking so many...my medicine cabinet seems like it is overflowing. The doctor wants us to start the wheat/gluten free diet. (She already has been off casein). OK, this should be interesting. We have already tried some gluten free noodles and they are good. I need to get some good cookbooks for this and I need to find recipes for bread. I do have 4 (yes, 4) bread machines to work with. AND, I need to keep the money part as low as possible.

I'm getting tired of people saying that there is nothing wrong, she's fine, I say of course she 's fine, but take away the supplements, give her the foods/additives she's been avoiding and they can take care of her for a week. It wouldn't last....she would be back...very early. :)

Another child has some issues that could be serious and is now on supplements and having more tests done.

This word "mitrochondrial" is showing up alot lately. So, I guess I'm going to have to find some books and do some searching about this.

I also am trying to find 'play therapy' that will not cost anything. Not 'play' as is hand/eye coord., running around. I mean the kind to sit and play with toys.

I'm now going to do some searching. Have a Happy day!
