Dallas!


It has been 13 days today since Dallas began throwing up and having diarrhea and abdominal pain. We have been to the ER and Kaiser doctors office a total of 4 times and are still unsure as to the problem. Thankfully the blood work looks good, however we are waiting for results from his stool sample. Yesterday he seemed to be doing well at the ER but he vomited 4 times from 4am-7pm. Jason and I try not to be alarmists but we are growing more concerned and sad that Dallas is still uncomfortable. We are making some big diet changes to see if this will affect him positively. He is off of all gluten and dairy products. This is a research project for me, as there are many foods that contain these ingredients. (foods you would'nt expect) So, if you happen to wake up around 3 or 4am, please pray that Dallas could get some relief. Strangely, the vomiting occurs mainly in the early morning hours. Dallas, in the past has been characterized by freaking out at doctors appointments. The idea of going to the ER and getting blood work was not something any of us looked forward too. Amazingly, after praying with Dallas several times and quoting scripture, he handled the pokes and fears with flying colors. This verse has been especially meaningful to him. 2Cor. 4:16-18 "Therefore we do not lose heart. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary but what is unseen is eternal."
