Update on Dallas

Around 11:40 pm. Dallas vominted one time. This was discouraging however he did not vomit after that. Typically, he vomits a minimum of 3 times. This morning he woke up at 6:30am with pain in his left wrist that brought him to tears. He could have slept on it funny but any new symptom tends to make our antenna's perk up. We gave him IB profin and considered taking back to Kaiser but the appointment center is closed today because it is a holiday. The pain is gone now and he is assuring us that he absolutely does not need to go to the doctor. As I laid in bed last night after he vomited I battled with worry. The Bible says not to worry. James 1 came to my mind.
"Consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance. And let endurance have its perfect result, so that you may be perfect and complet, lacking in nothing." I then made a mental list of many of the things that I have been thankful for during the last 15 days. Here is a list:
-Two sets of grandparents that will help in an instant when needed
-the in-between days when Dallas feels well
-SCRIPTURE to give peace and comfort
-modern technology
-many available foods without ingredients that may be causing the problem
-only one episode of vomiting last night
-Dallas' spiritual growth as he depends of God

After Dallas' pain in his wrist went away, he was really hungry and wanted a big breakfast. I made gluten free pancakes, eggs and bacon. He ate the most he has eaten in days at one meal. At this moment he really is feeling good and running around the house with his brother. So we will continue to wait.

Here is a list of things that we are praying for:
-That we can get a definitive answer as to what is going on. (whether it be a food intolerance issue or parasite.)
-Continued Peace
-That the stool sample would come back soon. Today it has been a week since it was sent to the lab.

Have a wonderful holiday. We appreciate all of you1
