Sherri, you have my permission to email. But can I throw $.02 out there? You might want to just forward the link to the post and keep praying for him. My husband was never "good with words" either but continually tucking behind him allowed the Lord to do a work and grow him in that way. Just a thought...

Can I copy and paste you husband's words into an email to my husband who says he isn't gifted with words?

Lainie, one of our best friends used her purity to make her husband's wedding ring. It was one of the most special and meaningful things I have ever seen. That's our plan now for our kids...

Hi Elle, Thank you for taking to comment during such a busy time of year. I've been meaning to post an update. Although I do have some mild food allergy issues, mine is definitely musculo-skeletal. Because of numerous injuries over the years, a lot of my ligaments are like stretched-out pantyhose can cannot hold me in place. When I try to exercise I just re-injure myself because the ligaments are so floppy. I've undergone what is still considered an experimental procedure that has helped soooooo much. The ligaments are repairing and now have spring to them again. I'm doing so much better!

My neurological system is also wired really weird so I don't present in a textbook fashion so diagnosing has been tricky.

I hope you find answers for yourself and your son. Praying for peace and comfort until you do.

Lord bless you!

2011-12-10T09:48:46.798-08:00

I came to your blog looking for that awesome manger scene. I know this post is a year old, but I felt I should comment. This year has been tough for me too. I don't have twitching or anything severe, but I've had pneumonia, extreme depression and tiredness, loss of hair, rashes, vertigo and dizziness...to name a few things. I also seemed to suffer from some really random throat clearing thing that was so annoying...but my doc chalked it up to allergies and sent me on my way. Well because my kids have a ton of issues with Aspergers and ADHD like symptoms, we removed both gluten and casein (most dairy products) from our diets. My son stopped wetting the bed but now is doing it again. WE think his allergic to something else now. Anyway, but all my symptoms mostly disappeared. I also found out that I'm not absorbing Vitamin D. So I'm taking megadoses of that and although I feel better, I'm not sure if I'm at normal levels yet. I have learned a ton about how food affects us during this process -- food coloring, dairy products, corn, soy, and gluten are huge culprits to our bodies feeling so junky. If you haven't tried it already, I am curious if you have a food allergy. It's amazing what some foods can do to us. My son wets the bed, is hyper, can't sleep, gets skin rashes...some have been improved by diet but we are still working on all of that. I know its been a year now so maybe you have found more answers to what you are dealing with. At any rate, I thought I'd share what we've experienced. Maybe it won't help, but its there. Hang in there Lainie. --Michelle

I had no idea that there were scripture references on in-and-out packaging! and alas, now i am too far away to check it out right now. it'll have to be one more must-do the next time we are stateside.

i can't wait to hear about your updates! the quilt, your health (woot! woot!), and more about camille. :)

your family is such a blessing... i love how you love one another. and to open your hearts and home to someone else is phenomenal. i know that God will bless all six of y'all!
