One down...

I think we have one kid nit-free! I keep checking Moriah's hair and can't find anything! Yeah! I haven't checked Jordan since Saturday so I should get around to it. I've been using a really hot hairdryer on my hair (still no sign but I don't want to take any chances), Moriah's and Rebekah's. Last night, I still found 9 nits on Rebekah. I can't figure out what a dead nit looks like though. I think we may be pulling off dead ones, that'd be great. I took a break from drying all of the bedding and did just pillows. I actually have no laundry to wash right now and only one load in the dryer and one waiting to be folded. WOW! I've done up to 6 loads a day and have not been able to catch up. The dryer runs from 9 am to after midnight. It's doing so well and it's over 16 years old.

Lena is cutting her first molar and it's not fun for her. She makes a really cute face though when she clamps her lips together, I assume in discomfort.

Isaac is doing well. We had seen blood in his bm's and it got us a little concerned so I changed his diet some and we have seen it lessen. Thank the Lord. God was very good to us today. He sends encouragement in many different ways. I called the doctor we see in Mankato to try to change our appointment and talked to the receptionist as I also wanted to see if I could talk to him about some diet things pertaining to Isaac. I was telling her a little of my wonderings and she said her son had Ulcerative Colitis in his early teens. He is 27 now and completely over it. It was a three year process and they were on the meds and got off and she had to figure out a diet on her own by trial and error and she said it was a very long and hard time. I was encouraged because we have a lot of resources helping us deal with the diet part although I am seeing it is trial and error even with help from those who have been there. I tell you I was so encouraged and given hope and I give all the thanks to the Lord for in His word he says in Romans 15:13 "May the God of hope fill you with all joy as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit." I'm learning to continue trusting Him especially when the anxious thought threaten me and I question what we are doing or if he is getting well.

Isaac has been a clown lately. He runs everywhere he goes in the house and he is friends with his brother Caleb again (only 15 months younger). He hasn't felt good for so long and became somewhat of a loaner as he just didn't feel good. Now, I walk in a room and he's wrestling with Caleb or playing with the baby or humming or singing silly songs from the Sesame Street tape Lena watches. It is a joy to see him like this. I keep looking at him and the memories of what he was like before this illness come back and I think it's happening. I kept praying for that old, goofy, a little bit annoying, laughing and having fun Isaac to come back. This got real long. Thanks for praying. Keep on praying for healing.
