Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider him who endured such opposition from sinners, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.
-Hebrews 12:1-3

Waiting...

and waiting, and waiting. That seems like all we've been doing lately. Waiting for our colds to be over. Waiting for Daniel's teeth to come in. Waiting for antibiotics to get out of my system. Waiting for the new probiotics to come. Waiting to see if Daniel is reacting to the new probiotic or if he's just experiencing die off. Waiting seems to be the hardest part in all this FPIES mess. Now we are waiting to start Daniel's first direct ingestion food trial. He seems to be doing well with the pureed beef everyday, and so we're going to trial zucchini, peeled, seeded, fermented, boiled and pureed. Please pray for us that the trial is easy and that God will allow this food to nourish his body, not harm it, and if he reacts to zucchini, that it is a mild reaction with a quick recovery time. Our plan is to feed him 1 spoonful in the morning, then, you guessed it, WAIT with an ER bag ready in the car. God is the only one strong enough to get me through this. The guilt I feel, knowing I may be feeding my child something that could make him terribly sick is overwhelming!

  1. OOOOH mama. The waiting! and then the fear that crops up. And the waiting. I have no doubt you have been on your knees about this, and if this is the green light you got, then it will be blessed. Cant wait to hear how it goes!! ((hugs))
