Wow how much more could we reach others with the gospel if we Christians stop pointing fingers at each other and start pointing at truth only, the light our savior Jesus Christ? To just allow the Love of Christ move us and through us. The rest would follow the deeper things would be revealed in Gods time by the Holy Spirit. Lets speak the word and let God breath the word!! Let us unite with all our differences by the love of Christ for the love of Christ and reach the nations even if only by our daily walk. We are all on a journey let us journey together even if we are at different place in our walk. United we stand other wise we fall.........May we bring glory to God as we walk in His Love Amen.

Today we took our 16 yr old and 2 yr old boys to their endocrine check up. The little man was in such a good mood. I thought after Monday he may not want to go to the doctor. Since lately the insulin shots have been something he has tried to avoid all the more. I think he is beginning to wonder hey why am I going with this, Protest! Anyway I have been asking my soon to be 3 year old if he would like to use a pump like his big brother? He seemed excited about that. I told him we would talk to the doctor about it. Maybe that brought some excitement about the Dr. visit. He did mention the pump a couple of times. I did mention it to the doctor and will soon be talking to the diabetes educators. Anyway he read books while we were waiting and really didn't complain the whole visit. Check up went OK. Their A1C diffidently need some work. My teenager as well as I really need to stay on top of the BG checks really need to do that more often. More changes will need to be made. My teenager had some blood work done to keep track of his Addisons disease and Hashimotos and make sure he is getting the right dosages as well as watch for any other things that might pop up. I did ask the doc if she could see if results from labs in the GI department came back yet. She said they did but since she didn't specialize as GI she wouldn't know what it all meant. She did say that both boys result showed allergens or something. Not sure what that means. So we still wait for results to see if they have celiac disease.

Monday 2 of my boys 16 year old and soon to be 3 yr old, had biopsy done of their small intestine to see if they have celiac disease. They went through the mouth and down the throat took pictures and took 6 pieces of the intestines. Its considered a day surgery. The procedures for both of them went very well. No complications. At Children Medical center in Plano they were very nice and took well care of them. They explained to my 16 year old all that they were going to do and made sure he felt comfortable. They did all they could do to prepare my toddler and help him not be afraid. They even gave his Mickey somethings they would do to him while he was awake. Since he has a hard time parting from me they allowed me to go with him and stay with him until he fell asleep. I was glad my husband was able to be there so he was able to stay with my 16 year old while getting IV while I was with little man. They finished with him pretty quick. While they were trying to put an IV in my 16 year old before they were even done with that they were done with my little man. They had to give my 16 year old cortisone through IV because he also has Addisons disease. So when are adrenaline is pumping extra during surgery his is not so he has to have something extra to replace that. He take cortef pills at home and needed it through the IV for the procedure. Both boys also have T1 diabetes so they had to keep close watch of their BG. They also gave them both IV to keep fluids in them to make sure they did not get dehydrated. I held my little guy when he woke up and waited for his brother to come in. They both had water and Popsicle to get fluids in them and help with sore throat. After they saw that they were able to keep fluids in them without getting sick we were able to go home. Oh I forgot right after the procedure was done with each of them the doctor showed us some pictures that he took of the small intestine. There was three or four pictures of the intestine taken from each child. My little man had one picture that appeared to have some damaged tissue and possible ulcer. Ulcers are sometimes due to Chron's disease. My 16 year olds look really damaged and seemed to have odd color but the color could be due to his meds that he has to take. The doctor said you really can't tell from the picture to be sure we would need to wait for the results from the lab. The pictures at time can be hard to really tell. Like what appears to be ulcer may not. He said that we would get results as late as a week but could get them before then. He said typically you get results before then. It is Wednesday and we continue to wait........we pray that they do not have an added thing to their already full plate. My 16 year old has three autoimmune diseases (Addisons disease, Type 1 diabetes and hashimoto's disease already and my toddler has Type 1 diabetes.) Oh how I love my children and wish I could carry their burdens!!!!
