Soy Milk Here We Come!!!

I never thought I would see the day when I would have to switch over to soy milk, well, atleast for one of my kids. More and more I am thinking, and realizing this is probably just a food allergy that is just now starting to reveal itself! I kept thinking today about how many different kinds of formula I went through with Skylar to find the right one. Soy formula was actaully my next option, then she was fine. When I go to the store on Friday, I am going to buy some Soy milk and see if they have some soy yogurt (I am sure they do, right?) and totally switch that over for 3 to 4 days. See if that clears up the rash and if it does, then whoo hoo, I am actually right!!! :O) BUT if it doesn't, I am back to square one, yet again! Oh, another reason I am thinking it isn't asthma, wouldn't it be worse when she is laying down or running and playing and not after she gets done eating? Hmm...
Anybody else gone through this?? Pointers anybody??? ;o) I am sooo open to any options!!!! I just don't want to have to use the nebulizer unless I REALLY need to! It isn't worth the fight! I don't like medicine unless I REALLY have to use it. Obviously if she gets really bad, I will bring that sucker out and use it, but if she just wheezes a little and is done, do I really need to use it? So confusing! :o

I've so walked this road ... Jake was diagnosed with ashthma before a year old. He and Jordan both have an intolerance to dairy (doesn't have to be a true allergy to wreak havoc!!).
My best advice is chiropractics - my preference is Applied Kinesiology (but there are other really good approaches) - AND avoiding cow dairy and SUGAR!
I also like the book "How to Raise a Healthy Child...in Spite of Your Doctor" by Dr. Mendohlson (a pediatrician!).
I'll be praying for God's direction and discernment!

I know this is hard - but i would also say try chiropractic care. This is amazing - i know my guy has helped TONS of kids with asthma. He has a whole board of pictures of him, with all the kids he has treated. He takes insurance which is a blessing, and every time I have a migraine, after I go get an adjustment - i am better in thirty minutes, and I am talking Puking sick migraines.
I will pray that you figure it out!
I know what you mean not wanting to use meds if you don't have to- i am right behind you there.

Run-Aways

Wow, this has seriously been an eventful week! Starting off with the whole fabric softener mis-hap, which you can read on here if you didn't see or hear about it! Then Curt left Monday nite, Tuesday, well, it was ok, we had mom's group and the kids were acting up a bit, but nothing too bad... Then Wednesday I had a meeting at the church... It started out ok, the meeting wasn't long at all! Gavin came into the room and said he wanted to go play outside on the playground. I told him no, because I couldn't see him. I said, what if someone came by and picked you up and grabbed you and took you somewhere? Mommy would never see you again and I would be soooo sad! I said, I can't see you, so you need to stay inside. Well, not more than 3 minutes passed and Kotah comes up to me and says, uh, mom, Gavin is trying to go outside. So, I get up, go over to him and talk. I asked him what is he doing? he says, I WANT to play OUTSIDE! I said, bubby, I can't see you, so you can...

Judah's Wife Book Review

I received this book from Bethany House for free if I agreed to read and then blog about it. Judah's Wife is by Angela Hunt. I've read a few of her books and absolutely enjoyed and loved them!  I was very excited to be picked to read this book! I've honestly not read anything from the books of Maccabees.  This story is the "silent years' between Malachi and Matthew. I really would like find Maccabees now to read it since I've read this book. This book was amazing! Love being able to read stories that really capture what it was like.  Angela Hunt has done this in this book. I really enjoyed how she told it from Judah's side and Leahs side.  It would go back and forth, but it wasn't confusing at all. Talks about Leahs up-bringing and how she struggled. Her father wasn't a real father figure and in time she realizes how much her mother protected her from her father and his blows. She struggles to truly love Judah at first who was somewhat fo...

Cancelled

What a busy crazy day! Curt left right away this morning around 7 to get his blood taken.  He got back and then Audrey got here.  We played and picked up for a bit then left to go to the Health Department to get our TB test done.  We got there around 10ish and they told us we needed to make an appointment.  So we waited for a bit to make an appointment.  Thankfully they had an opening for today yet.  They only do these tests on Friday, so we really didn't want to have to wait until next Friday if at all possible.  Got an appointment for 1:15 and 1:30.  I was thinking ugh, either no nap and very little nap, but I didn't care!  ;) Got home, cleaned up a bit more, got the kiddos some lunch, then we turned around and left to go back to the Health Department.  (I did NOT see the water guy! ;)) Got back there, got asked some questions, wanted to know why I need the test...  I said adoption.  They saw all the other 5 kids and as...
