It's really over isn't it? GOOD!

My kids are well.  :)  How cool is that?  Since April my kids (and myself) have been WELL.  Even though months are passing since we started eating well I think I am still afraid that something will send us into our old life.  The life where your kids are constantly sick.  The life when you don't leave the house for days because someone is burning up and you are trying to get a fever down, the life that if you DO leave the house it's to go to the Dr's to get medicine, where you clean up throw up and prep for surgeries, where you pray you don't run out of gas looking for a specialist office that is an hour away from home and you know you can't be late for fear of being rescheduled because you NEED this dr to see your baby... TODAY. In my attempt to clean the clutter out of my house I just went through about a year and a half of my "notes".  Drawers and drawers FULL of medical information, symptoms and research.  Papers full of my writing with words like "sick", "fever", "surgery", "blood", "lymphoma", "ear infection", "enlarged lymph nodes", "fever" and so many other words that where are part of our every day life for over 2 years.  So much has changed.  Part of me didn't want to throw out 2 bags full, huge trashbags of compiled information on how to get my kids well.  So much of it was me feeling so desperate and defeated. This isn't the sort of thing you make a scrap book out of and though it consumed my Lincoln's baby years it's all stuff that I am so glad to be over and done with.  New chapter in life for us.  One where we are all healthy.  I am still a little sad dumping all that stuff in the trash.  Of course I saved some things like his "Certificate" for being a good surgery patient from Loma Linda, photos and all of the hospital bands but I just have to let all of it go and be happy that I figured it out.  :)  Makes me want to cry though.  Raising your kids shouldn't be full of medicine, fevers and surgery.  Frustrating to think that we were digging for a mystery diagnosis when it was such simple fix it was for us- FOOD & CHEMICALS.  Change your diet and change your life.  How have we gotten so removed from what is normal and natural?  And how in the heck do we go on without realizing it causes us so many ailments?   And will I really be able to live forever without ever again having an Oreo? Hmmm...  :)
