September 3, 2016

It’s football season!! Woo hoo!!! We have enjoyed a lovely day of sleeping late, watching football, and generally being lazy.

Our main battle is still Kayleigh’s stomach. We are continuing to move her dosing time later in the day. The pain in her stomach is a combination of the medicine and food. The medicine alone makes her stomach hurt but when she eats it makes it so much worse. The problem is she gets hungry! So, we are moving her meds later – closer to bed time – in hopes that she will sleep through some of the worst. Today’s dose was at 6:00 pm and she has been miserable ever since. Tomorrow we will get to get closer to 8:00 pm. Please pray that this plan does indeed work and that her stomach will not be hurting when she wakes in the morning.

Aside from her stomach she is doing very well. The change in her diet has seems to really help her headaches. I never would have thought something like food could cause so much trouble but boy was I wrong. It is certainly a big learning curve for this former “drive thru” mom but it is proving to be worth it. For those of you that are curious we have cut out foods that are known to cause inflammation – wheat, corn, soy & dairy, we have stopped buying processed food, switched to organic meat, and begun limiting sugar. To say this is a lifestyle change would be quite the understatement but we are starting to figure it out. Even Kayleigh is on board big time because she feels so much better. And since it would make her feel bad to require special food, our whole family has made the switch. You would think Grace and Cole would squawk but they have been nothing but supportive. They want her better too – so it’s worth it.

Our prayers continue that the medicine and lifestyle changes will help stop this tumor in its tracks. But we know that it will be God Almighty that stops it, not anything we do. So keep on praying and asking for the remarkable miracle, we know nothing is too hard for our God!

Until tomorrow,
‘Carrow 💜

P.S. – Roll Tide ❤️🐘❤️ – I can’t help myself, I love my team and football season.
And here’s a little War Eagle 💙🐅💙 for my hubby, because I love him and his team, too (unless they are playing mine, then all bets are off).
