Day 2

We have made it 2 days living Gluten Free!!! My son, Adryn, is getting more and more excited as he learns about this new lifestyle. He has been on his computer (at the age of 8) looking up gluten free items, information about gluten allergies and other things related. He is making a game of finding things that do not contain gluten that he has already been eating and things that are new. Last night, we had mac-n-cheese made with rice pasta. Now understand that my youngest son (age 6) is now in charge of consumming all things that contain gluten, until they are gone from the house. So he had regular mac and cheese while the rest of us tried this new alternative. I have to say that I was quite impressed at how good it really was! Adryn isn't a big fan of rice, which is going to have to change. So I have taken a challenge to come up with new and exciting ways of making it so that he will eat it. Tonight, curry rice and chicken...verdict: He loved it! This could honestly be the first time that my entire family sat down and ate the same thing and wanted more. Usually someone doesn't like what I have made and opts out for a hotdog. We may live on this dish from now on! ha ha ha....

Tomorrow I will recieve a call telling us when Adryn will have his biopsy. I am just breathing deep and putting all faith in my Heavenly Father above. My faith has been stretched as of late. In the past 3 months 9 of my family members have been in the hospital for one reason or another. Myself included. 2 weeks ago tomorrow I had my gallbladder removed. At times it seems that we are being attacked from all sides, but I am reminded that we are never given more than we can handle. As scary as this may seem, it is the beginning of new relationships and friendships that we never would have had before.

This is only day 2...I know we will have our trials...I know my son will break down and cry when he can't have a cupcake at a birthday party, and I will cry too...But we will make it, one day at a time.
