We're back in TN

Hey, just wanted to post a quick update...

We arrived back in TN on Saturday. It was the first time that I've driven all the way through. 12 hours - woo hoo! I feel like a pro now. :-)

Eli survived his first day back at daycare. He cried and cried when I had to leave him - which meant that I cried and cried. But he was all smiles by the time I picked him up. He was busy playing with blue playdoh. If he ends up having green poo tonight then I know where it came from!

Noah has done really good since being back. He's sleeping pretty well and right now he's eating white basmati stir fry with... get this... cabbage, broccoli, and carrots. Can you believe it???? I ended up buying the shredded veggies in a pack. I think it's called shredded coleslaw. I've seen an organic kind at Target or Walmart, but just got the regular because I'm tired of spending mucho money on organic things that he doesn't eat. Wouldn't ya know that he's chowing it done. So, now we know the answer.... it's those pesticides that make the food taste so yummy! (Just kidding - hee hee).

He's still shrieking a bit, but I think it's getting a bit better. We started giving him probiotics again, so I think that's helping.

Anyway, just wanted to post an update. Will write more when I can.

The Answer to Noah's Shirt Chewing...

NOTE: If you came across this page by googling "Shirt Chewing", please click here for the most recent post on Noah's shirt chewing. Thanks! Sugar. Who knew that five little letters could wreck such havoc? As I've mentioned before, Noah has a terrible shirt chewing habit. I can't quite remember when it all started, but we all noticed that it STOPPED completely when we were in Austin. The only thing that was really different was his diet - since we were living out of a hotel for a week. When we got home, we racked our brains to figure out what it was.... what food triggered Noah' s shirt chewing. We were home about 2 days when Noah started chewing again. Agave Nectar. Sim had put agave nectar on Noah's waffles. We took the agave nectar out of his diet and the next day, the chewing decreased. A few days later, I gave him a peanut butter and jelly rice cake. He started shirt chewing. It had to have been the jelly.. which goes to show that just because it's

Acceptance and Moving Forward

It's been so long since I posted here. I wasn't even sure that I would remember my password. And, actually, I really haven't planned anything to write out, but I just had this overwhelming urge to post today. Maybe so that I can look back on this post next year and see how far we've come, I'm not sure. But here we are... and here I am.... 2016 was a challenge. Not just for our family, but for everyone it seems. I look around and 2016 just seems to be a year of hurt. It was a tough year on so many levels.  A little over a year ago, on December 23, 2015, we were told that my husband most likely had a certain lung condition that gave him only three years to live. We are so fortunate that it was NOT what they thought, but it led us straight into 2016 full of fear and despair.... feelings which continue all the way through today.... and may lead into 2017. To condense a very long story that's full of grief and misdiagnoses and full on panic attacks (for me), I wi

Noah said, "I love you, Mom"!!!

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!! I can't believe it!!! I walked by him sitting at the table and kissed him on the head and said, "Have I told you this morning how much I love you?" And he said, "Iduvumum" Of course, I was stunned. And I said, "Noah, did you just say, "I love you mom? Yes or No?" And he said, "Esssss" Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!! Of course I cried. And called Sim. And called my mom. And Noah was so pleased with himself that he took me by the hand and led me straight to the TV so that he could watch an Elmo video. I guess he thought, "Hey, I told you I love you, so now I get a freebie." This officially goes down in history as the best day of my life. (Doing carthwheels and happy dances and thanking Jesus). Yayyyyyyyyyyyy!!!
