just being thankful

i was looking through some old pictures, and was reminded of a time where we had no break from grayson's little face just bleeding and oozing for months. when we had to pin him down every time he took a nap or went down for the night. where i spent all day holding his hands to his sides because if i didn't he would make himself bleed.. again. we are not done with the allergy eczema battle, but i am so thankful to the Lord that he has cleared up so well on his face. his little body takes a beating here and there but its nothing like it was. thanks to faithful praying friends, and friends who gave of their finances and selves to rip up our carpet, he's much better. ultimately thanks be to God who remains faithful even though we are not. this is little g around 7 months i think.

i have even almost forgotten how bad it was!! thank you LORD!!!

we were supposed to test six more foods today, but the last patch test really did a work on his back, and three of the patches are still eczemafied. they just look like red scars now but we have to wait until the are completely gone to trial more foods. so we'll try again in two weeks. he's happy with corn and rice for now. :)

It is amazing how much the "little" blessings mean. He is doing amazingly well and that is thanks to your persistance. We will be praying for his little back to heal so he can be on to more foods.
