Sorry it has been so long. Lot's of changes are going on. We shall start with the great. My husband got a huge promotion at work, he is happier and it allowed me to quit one of my jobs!
Now, not the bad, but the harder to swallow. Our oldest daughter was tested for a gluten allergy. While the test can come back with a false negative it still came back negative. For this I am glad but she still has a gluten intolerance. This means that eating gluten most likely will do no long term damage it will continue to cause her to feel like crud all the time. So, my 2 year old will be gluten free and it breaks my heart. I know she can live life just like any other kid, yadda, yadda but at the same time, everything for her will be different.
Dear Daughter,
I'm sorry that your life will change forever. I am thankful that we found out while you are young and you won't know any different. I am thankful that you will be raised with a knowledge of what makes your tummy hurt and how to eat so your tummy won't hurt anymore.
Your Daddy and I will do out best to make your childhood as "normal" as possible. Our promise to you, our little angel, to provide you with decent tasting substitutions for the foods that your friends are eating (or do our best anyway).
Love,
Mama
