Well, we received disappointing news last night. The doctors initial theory of sugar malabsorption was proven wrong. I was so hopeful that this was the answer and the news was pretty crushing. We are back at square one. We went yesterday evening for labs and all came back ok which is good. He is not dehydrated or anemic.

I am doing much better today. We had a great appt this morning and I left encouraged. I am confident that the doctor is working hard to find us answers. Day by day. Step by step. There is quite a bit to consider. We are going to start by adding more foods to his diet along with zinc, fiber, and vitamins. I will continue to keep close track of "in's and out's" and will email the doctor every 3 days with updates. If no improvement, we will pursue antibiotics and anti-inflammatory meds. He will have a blood recheck and urine test Fri to make sure he is staying hydrated. We collected more stools today too. Doctor is still trying to get in touch with our geneticist back home. Could be a month before all test results are back.

I'm ok with the Lord just healing him and us never knowing the "why's." So, pray for miraculous healing (solid POO!) or clear answers from tests so they know how to treat.

Here are some words from a song that I like to listen to in the car. I turn it up WAY loud and clap and act obnoxious. Now, for the strength to live it and to find REST in TODAY! :)

I`m casting my cares aside
I`m leaving my past behind
I`m setting my heart and mind on You
Jesus

I`m reaching my hand to Yours
Believing there`s so much more
Knowing that all You have in store for me is good
Is good

Today is the day You have made
I will rejoice and be glad in it

I won`t worry about tomorrow
I`m trusting in what You say
Today is the day

I putting my fears aside
I`m leaving my doubts behind
I`m giving my hopes and dreams to You
Jesus


It's kind of hard to see, but here is a drawing the doctor did for us\


**Please pray for me tomorrow. I am having a root canal. Need to be able to care for my family, so little pain would be wonderful!
