This week I have been a crazy person at the computer. I have been searching the web for gluten, casein and soy free recipes. I have also been researching for information on biomedical treatments and on autism. There was a four hour gap where I didn't even move from the computer. My husband called me and I snapped out of the vortex slowly remembering where I was :) My thought is I only have days left before Josiah is done with school. I need to get as much studying done as I can. By the way, the product of my research is on the left side of my blog. There are so many amazing mothers with extraordinary blogs. I have enjoyed reading them. I took a break today from the computer and spent time with my beautiful eleven month old niece.
I have thinking about this summer and all that I have to do and begin to feel overwhelmed. How does one woman change her families diet completely, start her son on a detox of all the poison in his body, keep him on a rigorous schedule so he doesn't have multiple meltdowns a day, fund raise for the treatment, and manage all the other aspects of her life? UMM She doesn't!!! This morning on the way to occupational therapy I cried and prayed. Then cried and prayed some more. All that I am doing and will do for Josiah will be because of the
grace of God. I am one of the most disorganized, scatterbrained people on the planet! I know that I have to daily lay at my Savior's feet because He is the only way Josiah will be healed of autism, seizures, SPD, and chronic illness. Isaiah 61:1-3 has been a life verse for me. I had always wanted something called
Beauty for Ashes. I will be talking more about this but I realize now how important this passage is to me now that I am a mother of a child who is held captive by autism.

Love this and that verse it has always been a special verse to me as well. Love you, proud of you in all you do!
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful...I can feel the deep love of a mother for her precious child. God bless you.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much. I love your blog! I'm new to all this and reading all the blogs have helped so much.
DeleteYou don't sound disorganized. You sound like you are forming a well researched plan!
ReplyDeleteThank you for becoming a "follower" of my blog! (allergy-friendlytastebuds@blogspot.com) I know that the "followers" don't neccesarily get the latest posts sent to them (like the e-mail reader button at the top) does.

ReplyDeleteI saw that you are getting ready to make a change, and I was hoping this might help you as well! I have a friend who's daughter is on the autistic spectrum and it has totally change their life going gluten and dairy free. I am hoping she will do a guest post for me. I am praying for you!
