Just a quick post to update y’all on our progress.
Sy has been on the therapy for several days now. As we expected, we are overwhelmed with work! We practically live in the kitchen as we prep juices/soup/gruel, clean everything up, and then start the process all over again! Over this time, we have learned how to hone our juicing skills and streamline the process as much as we can. Everyone in the family is committed to helping our one family member who needs it. We are all pitching in to help as Sy cleans up the table and floor, Es dries and puts away dishes, and Bee finds a pencil to write on our walls (grrrr).
As a quick side note, when a 26 week old pregnant lady stands on a tile floor for hours on end in a kitchen, it makes her feet have a sad face. One thoughtful friend sent an unexpected surprise that has turned those feet frowns upside down. A padded kitchen mat! Sweet!

Sy, of course, is being a real champ through this whole thing. We do ask for your prayers with one specific issue… Getting the amount of juices down in a day is a tough task for anyone, especially a 5 year-old boy. Another issue that we’ve encountered is that he will break out in a small rash on his skin around his mouth. An opportunity to place a nasogastric (feeding) tube has become available to us and he actually loves the idea so he won’t have to chug-a-lug. God has knocked down our obstacles so far, so we don’t expect any different with this. We just need wisdom with every step.

More to come, so stay tuned!

P.S. As far as my diet changes with Sy, I’ve been amazed at the few noticable changes I’ve encountered…dropped some excess weight quickly, my appetite has been under better control, and just a better feeling all around. Keep the good changes comin’!
