2:04:20 PM | So good to hear you are feeling better right now, Theresa! Yes, I am doing fairly well most days with some set-backs occasionally, but like Charlie, Carrie is doing great.
She has now caught up with me and surpassed me in her progress. She is virtually symptom free. She no longer resists her medications and likes to challenge me to a 'race' to see who can drink the liquid meds the fastest. ;-)
Diet is such a key for her and I can relate to what you said, we have to watch the sugar from outside sources too. I'd like to be the 'cool Mommy' who says 'yes' to fun treats. The few times I have, I've really regretted it later. Real 'Cool Moms' do what is right for their kids even when no one understands or cheers them on. You are a 'Cool Mom'! ;-) Consider yourself cheered and applauded!
Although she does not always like it, Carrie is thriving on this strict diet and learning to love foods that she turned away from in the past. I don't think we'll ever go back to eating as we did before. Her idea now of a delicious desert is half a grapefruit, or some almonds sprinkled with stevia and cinnamon.
Speaking of treats for kids, I've recently tested some recipes, some of which turned out really well. One is for totally sugar-free, Morgellons-friendly ice-cream to make at home. Maybe it would help with all that heat down-under right now!? ;-) I will post them here soon in hopes that Charlie might enjoy them as much as Carrie did.
