OK, so the title didn't fit...

I tried to upload a picture of my three boys and hence the title of my last post. It didn't work and I didn't change the title :) Sorry to confuse anyone. Today was a more difficult day for me and Isaac would say for him too. His spirits are down. He's tired of his "diet" but with the latest flare-up we are going it slow and adding foods one at a time. We are listening to his body more closely. He did eat more than usual and after the initial upset in the morning went on to correct 4 math lessons and complete all his other school, play legos, watch Prince Caspian again and stay up until almost 9 p.m. His only BM today had changed some so that was encouraging in a way. The blood is still there. We are seeing less BM's though and that is a great praise. This week we even saw several where there was no blood at all that we could see and that just isn't normal. Keep the prayers coming because I am positive God has healing planned for this kid. It may take time but he is working, we can see it! I say it was a difficult day for me because I used to give Isaac pep talks a couple times a day and now it has increased to more than 10. I turned to God's word a few more times today for counsel and that helped "calm" me. If he was my only child this would be so much easier but I have 7 others who need me. If I could find a live-in maid/cook for a time I would have it made plus maybe she could do math and English too. We will get through this and be stronger for it. Someone said that soon I will just barely sway in the wind. Please pray for strength. This is getting harder than I anticipated. Isaac needs prayer to keep up his spirits. I have quoted him the verse "A cheerful heart is good medicine but a broken spirit dries up the bones." He's not so appreciative of that when all he wants to do is eat everything. I keep reminding him of the goal: good health without pain. Thank you for your prayers! God Bless You for thinking of us.
