2/9/2013 4:33:49 PM | Leah, Welcome to the Children & Morgellons thread! It it great to have you here and I can see already that you will be a great addition to our discussion. While I am sorry to hear of your illness and that of your children, I am so glad you found this website and have decided to become a warrior and not a victim of this disease. Making a full commitment to the protocol will benefit you and your kids beyond what you might now believe possible. You will discover over the coming months that it is the best decision you could have made. You WILL get better and as Mel said, your children will progress even more dramatically. He kept telling me that in the early months for us, and I didn't quite believe him because my daughter was much sicker to begin with than I ever was. I am thrilled to report that she just passed her sixth month on the protocol. She is nearly symptom free with only some occasional mild scalp purging and fungal foot rashes. She has passed me up and is racing a break-neck speed toward the finish line of good health and a Morgellons free life. Now I have to work even harder to keep up with her! ;-) It hasn't always been easy though, and the first three months were the most critical for us. The coming months will likely be very difficult for you too, but it gets better and quickly! Most of us have stabilized and resolved many of our symptoms at only two or three months on the protocol. That doesn't mean we're done with this disease, but life get's easier and worth living again. I understand your concerns about your children's diet. What we eat is so essential to our recovery that every effort you can make to move your children toward change will be invaluable. We also struggled at first with outside sources for sweets. I finally wrote an official and formal letter stating her dietary restrictions and both my husband and I signed it. We provide it to everyone who is going to be working with Carrie for any length of time. Just making eye-contact while handing this letter to them and stressing that there can be NO exceptions to Carrie's diet has done the trick for us. It lets them know you mean business and are willing to put it in writing. My little girl also fought the food changes even though we also had a very healthy diet before we got sick. Still, to hear that you cannot even have a bite of birthday cake or a taste of chocolate at Easter, etc., well, it's just tough for a little one. I hope it will encourage you to know that this is not an issue anymore for my girl. I had to be extremely consistent and relentless in keeping her on target with the diet. I hated being the 'mean Mommy' but stayed the course over those early months and now she is a different little girl. She doesn't even want sweets or crave them anymore and if an adult offers her candy she turns it down politely, even when I am not there to enforce it. She has changed her definition of 'dessert' and considers a half a grapefruit with a little stevia on top a treat. Or maybe some yogurt with sliced strawberries and stevia. She loves almond butter spread on organic brown-rice cakes with a bit of coconut oil and stevia mixed in. Delicious after-school snack! And the maturity, compassion and character growth we have seen in her. . . well that is another topic and requires another post someday. For now, just know that we are all thinking of you and praying for you and your family. Again, welcome here and please keep us posted on how you are doing. Your posts will encourage other parents as well as keep you in-touch with those a few miles down the trail! God bless, Deborah B. PS So glad you enjoyed the ice-cream! It's fantastic isn't it? And thanks for the tip on the coconut cream. I had heard of this but hadn't had the chance to try it. Now you've got me going. . . trying that tonight! ;-) |
