Wednesday, February 16th

Last night was a REAL storm - more than any hurricane we have experienced so far!  The wind howled, and howled and howled.  And, the house is still standing, and the smiles are still on all of our faces this morning.  Wow!  The snow drifted and blew and fell and fogged up and iced the roof, the windows, the doors...and another snow day at school. 

Yesterday was one of our hardest recuperation days.  Michellie's spirits were low, her head ached, and so did the rest of her body.  She just was not herself.  I felt like I was coming down with something, so started my homeopathics for flu and cold immediately.  We spent the afternoon on the couch, with Michellie sleeping on my lap.  There just was not enough energy or spirit to post anything, so I was thrilled about Mary Janet's letter as it gave us some great comedy relief, and something to share.

Today is much different.  Michellie woke with a smile on her face and an energy we haven't seen for over a week.  She has spent the day looking at my dance photo album on my computer and laughing at some of the crazy things we did and the toothless grins with her young buddies.  She also finally felt like doing a little "retail therapy" and she picked out some books and ordered them - thanks to her friends gift cards.  She has not been able to read for many weeks, so this is a great step forward.

David has ventured out several times today.  He is a little shack wacky and he loves to see what is happening in town.  He headed out with the truck to hear that the causeway is closed except for small cars being escorted across between 100 MILE an hour winds.  Outrageous.  As well, he finally was able to get up Jill's driveway to check on her cats - yesterday was just not a possibility. 

I awoke at 3 am to the winds and snoring, and so I rose and spent the next four hours reading Suzanne Somers cancer information, Caroline Sutherlands medical intuitive info, and references coming from both of them.  I have spent the rest of the day linking all of the symptoms Michellie has had over the last year and a half to find the connection with everything.  I think I have found the root, and now it is finding the people with the resources to help with the healing.  Anyone with info on gluten intolerance and how to change diet habits and recipes, please share what you can.  I am also looking for info on bioidentical hormones and who offers this in Nova Scotia.

Oh, more snow is coming down again.  I better check on the beef and vegetable soup, for a hearty and warm supper!
