Rough Times

It has been awhile since I have written on my blog. I apoligize for that. Matthew has been to the doctor numerous times since I last wrote. Thank you Jennifer for letting me know about Celiac disease. The doctor's have tested Matthew for everything under the sun except that one. I will call them up and tell them I want him tested for that. He has been tested for samolina, girarada and other intestinal infections. All negative, but still stomach pains.

Also, last week was a sad sad week. We attended a funeral for a classmate. Jesus Lara was 9 years old and he was in the 3rd grade here in our school. I had Jesus last year when I was the assistant in after school academics. He was a very handsome, funny and energetic little boy. He always had a smile on his face. He was riding his bicyle on a Saturday afternoon and was struck by a car. He lived for a day. Matthew has Jesus' older brother, Jordan, in his class and Amber has Jesus' younger brother, Javier, in her class. They also knew Jesus, due to me having him in after school academics with me. It is always so hard to attend a funeral, but with it being a child, that is so so so much harder. I feel for the parents, my heart goes out to them.

Yesterday is history, Tomorrow is a mystery...Today is a gift!!!

Cassey- You can go ahead and start Matthew on a Gluten-Free diet and see if it makes any difference. Rice and corn flours don't contain gluten, and neither does oat (however, oat and wheat are often have their growing seasons rotated in the same fields, so you might want to avoid oats, too).

You should be able to notice a difference within a few days if you are really vigilent about reading labels- watch out for things like Soy Sauce that have wheat in them.

What a sad thing for that family!
