Isaac is in THE most fun stage ever right now (and I have video to prove it;). He loves to imitate EVERYTHING he sees anyone doing. And Frankie baby—well, he’s a full fledge 3 year old now and our 3’s are always more challenging than our 2’s in the Young house;). Here’s some footage of […]

Category Archives: Day in the LifeSO…my rheumatologist was able to give me a diagnosis today! According to western (I say western because I totally dig eastern, more natural doctors with an eastern approach) medicine and blood work lined up with symptoms–I was diagnosed with Sjogren’s syndrome. Never heard of it?? Well, if you are a tennis fan–then maybe you have […] We’ll be praying for ultimate healing from the Almighty Physician. PS from a friendly Dietitian-with Sjongren’s all that stuff about raw fruits & veggies helping autoimmune disorders is absolutely true. Also daily exercise even though you will be so tired some days will works wonders in how you feel! God bless- praying, praying for healing! I wouldn’t discount either but I have a friend from high school whose daughter was misdiagnosed with lupus at the age of 10 by Children’s Hospital here in Alabama. They treated her for lupus for a year and she continued to worsen. My friend researched & pushed for Lyme testing. It was Lyme. They sought treatment all over spending hundreds of thousands raised by their community because insurance didn’t want to pay after a certain amount. They brought her home to die and then heard of an alternative treatment center in Nashville. She has a long road but she is healing finally. That long story to say if she can get Lyme from a tick in Alabama then you know you can get it from one in Georgia. I wish doctors weren’t so anti homeopathic. Thankful for our pediatrician who balances them both. Hoping you are feeling better soon. Andrea Okay, not sure what happened to my comment! Just here to say we’re praying and that God’s got it in hand…sorry for the cryptic message up top. So true, Andrea. East, West, combo … only HE will give you the wisdom to know the direction to take during the rest of your life dealing with Auto-Immune/Sjogrens. I know about Sjogrens through my mom being diagnosed 30 yrs ago, and with RA diagnosis recently. You are a fighter and have a “don’t give up attitude” like she does ~ I have NO DOUBT you will amaze yourself in all that you will continue to do. Love ya big time and cheering for you as you move forward. PRAYING for you and whatever treatment will help!!!!!!! God knows! And sometimes it is great to get different sides to the story! I would rather go east than west anytime!!! I really believe in the natural remedies and homeopathic doctors as long as they are not tree huggers but God huggers. Still you can’t throw the baby out with the bath water! I am so not into medicine and I think that most of the stuff they give you actually covers up the real issues. Glad to hear that it is not more serious and I would agree with you to do the natural treatment. It is wonderful that God has not closed the door for you to adopt! Love the detailed update! You know I’m praying!!!! Interesting that the doctor didn’t think you could get Lyme’s disease in GA… haha Been praying for you, girl!! You rest and find some delicious healthy recipes and spend extra time with Jesus! In other words, take care of yourself, and know you are loved!! I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia a few months ago, when my doctor wanted to put me on antidepressant med’s I started doing all kinds of research (on the internet mostly) and went to see an actupuncturist, my symptoms are gone!! NO MED’S at all.. I do take an auto immune vitamin which is great.. Be sure you check all your bases before taking any medication.. Best Wishes, I follow your blog through my daughter’s blog, and found this post very interesting! My husband has been going to a naturopathic doctor who has done WONDERS for him. He had a blood clot last fall that nearly killed him, and he suffers from Crohn’s disease. This nat. dr. has found things going on in him that the med. drs. never did, and he is a different person today because of the natural remedies he is taking. I’m all for the natural route! Hope you get along as well with this as he did! So enjoyed reading about your experience with Isaac and his medical treatment! GO HOMEOPATHIC AND NATUROPATHIC!!!! A year ago I didn’t believe in it. I DO NOW!!! I follow your blog through my daughter’s blog and found this post very interesting! My husband has been going to a naturopathic doctor who has done WONDERS for him.

My daughter is bringing 3 yr. old twins home from Ethiopia, anD she wants to take them to this nat. dr. Good luck to you, and God’s blessings! Sorry there are 2 posts. When I tried to post the first comment I got a message that there was an error and it didn’t post. So I posted again and it went through fine, and then I saw that the first one did, too. Sorry, one should be deleted. Praise God that you finally have a diagnosis! Was just praying for you this morning! I have an autoimmune disease too, and it was a tough few years after I was first diagnosed. But PRAISE THE LORD, that besides a medication I will take daily for the rest of my life, I am totally symptom free and feeling great! Will keep praying that God will restore your health! Feel badly that you are dealing with so much stuff…but at least the news is a bit encouraging…you have been on my heart the past few days. We love the homeopathic doctor! We still do both as well…but I’d have to say, we have had much more success with Eastern medicine lately…something to be said for giving the body a chance to heal itself, rather than just treating symptoms and living with it. Way to be vigilant! Andrea,  Some times–my little ones just take my breath away. I turned around and saw my angel sipping on her milkshake tonight and just had to snag the moment…she’ll be grown and gone before I know it. How I love her. Everyone got a sweet treat tonight. Loo wanted a Sonic shake. But the boys–oh the […] Praying for you. One of my best friends adopted from Ethiopia and she has Lyme’s Disease. She, like you, suffered with it a long time before figuring out exactly what it was. She went a very natural healing route and is fairly happy with her results. Obviously, there are still struggles, but she parents 3 beautiful children on her own and does a fantastic job! :0) andrea, Praying for you, Andrea!! Praying that your doctor’s and lab technicians will have wisdom in reading your results correctly. Of course we pray for complete healing, however, no matter the outcome, GOD has THE perfect plan for you ~ He has you right where you need to be. xo Thank you for that beautiful post reminding me to slow down and enjoy my kids….right where we are! I am sending prayers for great healing for you. Blessings to you and your family. What a wonderful, refreshing post! Prayers your way! Prayed for you this morning friend. Glad you are finding ways to slow down… Hugs! Thank you so much for taking the time to share so much of your life and family with us. The Lord has and is still using you to stir so many hearts with your blog. I’m a better mom because of you. You speak truth into my life and you challenge me with your words. I can’t thank you enough. Know that I’ll be praying for complete healing for you. God is so much bigger then this….He can move the mountains! Praying for you, sweet Andrea! And I totally hear ya on being made for a slower, earlier time…it’s so hard to slow down and enjoy the little moments! Thanks for reminding us to do just that! Long time..no read .. I omit I have been distanced from the blogging world just trying to still adjust to four but I read your words today and they reassured me I needed this break to focus on my family. I wasn’t aware you were feeling sick but I will put you down in my prayer journal to remember to pray for your body to heal and for God’s will on the adoption end. Just like you said he has you right where he wants you! Praying … Heidi Been following your blog for just a bit, and I will pray for you. All I can say about today’s post is…AMEN, I am with you.

We stopped in Asheville, North Carolina for dinner with my little sister Katie and her man Rama–AND Dru and Asher Collie of Sole Hope…some of my favorite people:) On Monday–we played at […] Hi, I have been following your blog for some time and not posted until now.. please know that I am praying for you this weekend… that God gives you HIs peace beyond all understanding….

LOVE your videos!!! =)
AdOrAbLe!!!!!! And I completely agree with the 3’s being more challenging than the 2’s. After 5 kiddos I can say that I have loved the 2 year old stage … oh, we love the 3 year old stage too, its just a bit more work 🙂
