Well, here we are half way through summer break (maybe a little more than half?) and wow has it gone by fast!! It's not really been the summer we dreamed of... There has been fun, yes fun for sure, beach time, pool time, water park time too... We've gone to movies and painted pottery and spent entire days in our pj's... We've rode our bikes, and hiked our trails, we've shopped and snuggled and laughed until our sides hurt. But, we've spent a lot of time at Dr.'s again... See little one, you have a belly that just drives momma insane. We've fought this for years, and years and years. Doctors always treating the symptoms and not the problem. This summer momma has had enough, so armed with information, your diet all written out and a bit of an attitude, momma finally got through to your doctors. So finally it feels as if mommy and your doctors are on the same page, and we've finally got the referral we wanted to a Pediatric GI. In a few weeks (or hopefully sooner, as we're on the cancellation list) we'll head to Boreland Groover Hospital and momma will once again, go armed with her information, her pages of your diet, and her attitude, because it's my job to fight for your health care, to make them listen, to make them look at everything... Cross every t and dot every i...
All I want are answers, I know in my heart of hearts that no matter the diagnosis, no matter the cause, we can get through this, we just need the answers so we can make the right decisions and get you the best care possible. I'm confident that it will be something simple, because isn't it always?? I just want to know, so we can move forward. Mommy is tired of seeing you miserable, and you are such a trooper, putting on a brave face... You never complain of the things you have to do, the diet you have to eat... You are so strong my love bug and I'm so proud of you!! It breaks mommas heart that at 6 you worry, my little 65 year old man, trapped in a 6 year old's body... You worry and you fret and you say such responsible things... Things no 6 year old should say, you worry about your Fiber intake and how many ounces of water you've had to drink... You turn away cookies and crackers for Cantaloupe, Watermelon and Cucumbers... You my bug a boo, are amazing...
We'll get this figured out once and for all sweet boy...
I love you so much!
Love,
Momma
Veggie subs for everyone!!
Dear Heather,
ReplyDeleteHave you ever considered Celiac deasease? Alaina, Troys daughter, has it very bad and her stomach hurt all of the time and the doctors didnt know what was wrong with her either for a long time. If she stays away from glutten, which unfortunitly is found in alot of things, she does so much better. It seems to be effecting more and more people because of the engineering of wheat to make "better" wheat, we no longer have the origional wheat that our bodies are able to break down. I am so sorry that your tummy is bothering you Greyson and I love you very much. I hope that you have a happy day today and that you feel better very soon. Hugs to you all, Mom and Grandma
