by the GRACE of God, we have had an amazing month!! i mean, when you think of all we have been able to accomplish medically with grayson just in three weeks, it is crazy. when our pediatrician told us that we would need to see the doc at UNMChildren's back at the beginning of may, our appointment was not scheduled until the END of july. THREE months from then. well, somehow God worked that out and we got to see him on june 2nd, just four weeks later. when the doc said he wanted to do the biopsy, it usually takes one month to schedule that in, but grayson was scheduled for june 5th, just THREE DAYS after we met the doctor! after his results came back negative, the unm doc referred us to the allergist to go from there. that appointment was scheduled for SEPTEMBER 30th! are you KIDDING me? i was so sad because i can't really do successful food trials without the help of a doctor, so i wasn't sure what i was going to do about that one. BUT, yesterday afternoon, this dr's office called and said "hey, um, we have you down for sept 30th. however, we have a cancellation in the morning..." OH MY GOSH I WILL TAKE IT. can you believe that? so since june 2nd, we have had three MAJOR appointments which would normally take about 6 months to complete! thank you LORD!!
so our appointment went GREAT! we love the doctor. he is SO proactive, (just like you said he'd be cobi and jen!) so, first , we clear up the sinus infection i had no idea he had, and then we start the food testing! he'll be eating in no time! he's doing good with rice this week, i think. i never can tell. all i know is that he has a snack to munch on (100% pure brown rice cakes) and i've never seen him happier!
anyway, just wanted you to know that i am feeling so hopeful about all this stuff! yea for good doctors!! yea yea yea!!

One of my favorite hymns says:
"Day by day, and with each passing moment,
Strength I find, to meet my trials here;
Trusting in my Father's wise bestowment,
I've no cause for worry or for fear.
He Whose heart is kind beyond all measure
Gives unto each day what He deems best—
Lovingly, its part of pain and pleasure,
Mingling toil with peace and rest."
I love the last part, the idea about mingling toil and pain with rest. I know that if every day were completely easy and wonderful, I would take it for granted, but God grants us enough toil to remind us He is in control and to cause us to be really thankful when things work out so beautifully! I'm still having a hard time accepting the pain and toil graciously though. I am SO THANKFUL for your recent days of peace and rest. Wishing you many more with little Gray!!! Love, Rachel
hey its uncle t im so happy that bubba is doin good! luv u
Seriously, lately I have been reminded of how good God is. It is amazing how he sheds his blessings on us when we most need them. They may be "little" things to some people but to us they are exactly what we need to face our mountains. We need to get together, have coffee, and celebrate our kiddos!
