Ah, back on track! Friday was a great day for all of us. Michellie almost finished her homework - she was delighted with how quick and embraced something to do! She cleaned her room, removed some more boxes, hung posters and inspirational sayings - she has lots of those - and cleaned her old computer. Her energy and enthusiasm were contagious. David rested his poor knees some more from the attic work, and began working on the drawings for our renovations. It is exciting! He is using some of the preliminary work Michellie did with her homeschooling project, and then playing with some new ideas too. Michelle was excited to have made a trip to the health food store for Gluten free supplies and spent the afternoon making lasagna! Yummy! Michellie was thrilled by the trip to the store too, for the most amazing ice cream was discovered - sugar free and gluten free, and an incredible chocolate bar too. She was worried that there would never be another treat she could enjoy with no guilt or side effects. We even found gluten free chips and David was happy about that. So, each of us had a fun day doing what we love and feeling pretty good about it.
Michellie has had few complaints over the last few days, but has had a reocuring rash (like razor burn) in the hair follicles on her legs and behind her ears - we will embrace the fact that they will be ready to regrow hair after they get past being mad about being shut down. A sore throat began last night, but no fever, so we hope that the morning brings a distant memory of this. We did do some more techniques from Rashida for the Triple Warmer, so hopefully this helped the Spleen meridian to sort out its difficulties.
We wish Grampy a fabulous 70th Birthday celebration this weekend. We wish we were there to celebrate with you, but we saw by the photos so far that Michellie's healing bracelets are there in our place. We wish you a fabulous year of fun and adventure with incredible health!
On to a great Saturday, the storm seems to be holding back, so perhaps we will get a little coasting happening down the drive way today.

What an upbeat, hopeful post! I hope you all feel as great as you sound in your blog. Such a good sign that Michellie is taking charge of the things over which she still has control. Strange rash... as long as it's not petechiae... Great health food store you've found. And already planning for the future with those reno plans... This cancer event will eventually be history and you'll need to be ready for what ever is next! BTW, Grammy & Grampy are so cute! Take good care. Be warm and well and happy.
ReplyDeleteSorry to have been out of touch for a few weeks. I just spent the last 1/2 hour catching up. What a journey!
ReplyDeleteI'll see what I can come up with for gluten and sugar-free, which I am. Whole grain rice pastas are great, as is quinioi pasta, mmmm... (is that how you spell it?). My all time fav though, is dark chocolate, agave and/or barley malt sweetened coconut milk ice-cream. All to be found at the health food store, which I guess you guys have a bit of a trek to get to. Can you take a cooler with you so that you can bring home loads of treats?
Give my love all round. I'm off on tour on Thur but I'll check the blog while travelling.
Loads of love and strength for the next round.
