Health Naturally

Yes I am going to venture into this subject.  We are a family with five children.  The youngest has Down Syndrome and with Down Syndrome, she can have a compromised immune system.  The first year of her life I breast fed and so she was quite healthy.  From age one to two, all hell broke loose.  She had a constant cold from August until April.  She would get over a cold to then get a flu, then a cold again.  A stomach flu and a cold again.  Then it happened.  Pneumonia.  She got sick at 1:00 a.m. and the next morning something wasn't right.  I called our Pediatrician who gave her a chest X-ray and yes she was put on her fourth antibiotic.  I was beaten.  I was destroyed.  Other moms of Down Syndrome said "Oh yea this is all our lives with Downs children".   What???????  Nope I was NOT going to be on this cycle.  I was getting off this ride.

I discovered through the help of my cousin Brenda, essential oils.  All began when she told me about Oregano Oil.  Oil of oregano, which is distiller from the flowers and leaves of the oregano plant, could be one of nature's most powerful antibiotics.  I started my adventure of discovering a company called Young Living Here.  This company sells the purest of oils.  I read about how if you put ONE DROP of oil on the bottom of one of her feet, it is soaked into her system like a sponge.  Our feet are porous.  They absorb.  If you ever heard of kids having a terrible cough and moms putting Vicks on bottoms of the feet and socks, then the child has a restful nights sleep without coughing!

So then I started getting different oils and either putting them in the air by diffusing or by putting a drop on a foot or on one of the kids hand.  Illness in this house stopped!!!  Kate had a three day cold since August and it was barely anything.  Praise God through whom all Blessing  Flow!

Thank You!

BJ and I woke up this morning to Kate!  She was "talking" in her room.  I love the little snippets.  She likes to say "bad girl" and then laugh!  Then started calling me, Mum Mum Mum.  Cracks us up.  We love going in her room to get her.  So full of joy.  Always ready for a new day!  This Saturday morning she brought her blocks to BJ to play.  This is our life.  Our children.  We would do anything for them.  All our children are gifts from God.  We never know how the road we travel will turn out.  We do the best we can to share God and love.  The most important part of life is kindness.  We teach kindness and forgiveness.  Our children practice this daily.  We are hoping they don't have the obstacles we have been dealt, but we all know they will have others. My husband BJ is my best friend.  Everything we stand for or against, we stand together.  BJ is a fantastic husband and a s...

Looly Goes to School

Looly started school!  She is going to a Special Needs Preschool to get speech therapy, occupational  therapy and physical therapy.  She was leary after the first day but once she saw her ole favorite Physical Therapist, Matt, the game was on! Matt is a young man that is married with two daughters.  He loves Kate.  He calls her turkey and she squeals with happiness.  When we first saw him after a year break, she actually kissed his cheek.  Matt has all of Kate's respect.  Matt challenges and pushes her to do better.  Sometimes there is even tears, but she will work hard for him.  By the next week he will see improvement.  It makes us all laugh at her stubborn determination to "show Matt!" This past week we were made aware through the speech therapist that they rang a bell directly behind Looly and she didn't flinch or turn to look.  So we made an appointment with a hearing specialist.  I do not believe she is 100% deaf...

Finding Peace with Charlie Kirk

It sure has been a rough time this year.  I really thought this year was going to be spectacular and finally peace among us.  How naive I still am.  Or is it the Pollyanna in me. Seeing Charlie Kirk get assassinated shook me and many others to the core.  I loved Charlie and what he stood for and yet!  I am so surprised at exactly how many people he touched.  Behind the scenes he was such a testament of who we should be.  He was genuinely GOOD!  How many times from thousands of friends did they say how he checked in on them and the encouragement he shared with them.   Now Revivals are breaking out and the younger generation is praising God in millions.  Does it make you think about yourself and how you make a difference in people’s lives?  Do you realize that your kindness and friendship is so much more powerful than you think?   When we want to mourn and hide away, we are being called to action.  Action with Praise and Glo...
