Update on Lofton

So it's been about a month since finding out we had to practically cut everything out of Lofton's diet... It has for sure had its ups & downs, good days & bad! But through it all God has been my strength, my shoulder to cry on, my support! He brought us to this new life style & He will bring us through it! I'm not gonna say that I haven't doubted this process at times but just when I start to doubt I feel like God gives me the strength & perseverance to push on. Since starting this new diet/lifestyles a month ago, Lofton has had 2 more ear infections:( So it kind of seemed like hum maybe this is pointless, maybe it doesn't matter, it doesn't help to cut out all this stuff! But NO!! I had to stay on track! Lofton went about 3 days no drainage from his ears & it was Adam's bday so we decided to give in this ONE time & let him have a bite of a donut, that's ALL he took was ONE bite! The next morning, yep drainage pouring from his ear:( Here we go again, another ear infection :/ Even though I hated that he got another ear infection I felt like it was conformation that food has a big role in why he's so sick! We must keep on track with this diet. This past Friday we started these treatments that are hopefully going to help build his system back up but also reduce his allergic reactions to some of these foods. Sounds weird I know! I'm not 100% sure about them but I'm willing to give it a try. They can only treat him for one allergy at a time. Once the treatments start, not only can you not eat it, but him nor I cannot touch it or even be around it! This weekend was a bit rough with that. My kids had to step up & make their own breakfast & lunches & then I had to always make sure they were really washing & cleaning up after themselves. The kids did great & I think they actually enjoyed doing stuff on their own. I had to practice & learn a little more patience when things weren't done just how I like. Lol I will admit that today has been the hardest yet for me. I love fruit & veggies but today I was just feeling over it & just wanted some chicken! :) All in all I am feeling very encouraged that we are moving forward & that Lofton is feeling the best he has in several months!! Praise The Lord!! :)
