Spring

Spring is finally upon upon us and I am so looking forward to the warmer weather and sunshine. The sun is so good for my soul... It is also good for my headaches, we spent 2 weeks in Maui over Spring Break and I cannot believe that I did not have one single migraine or headache while we were there. I packed all of my medications expecting to finish it by the time we got home and was amazed that I was able to bring it all home again.

 Those who don't suffer with headaches, can't fully understand the amount of pain and suffering it causes. It truly was a miracle and utter joy to enjoy every single day with my family without pain. The migraines/ headaches returned with a vengeance when we arrived back home and I must confess it is very draining. The boys have also fallen in love with Hawaii and we all shed a tear as the plane was taking off, leading us away from paradise. It's hard being back at home and I have to figure out if it is the vacation that causes my headaches to cease, being relaxed? Or is it the weather, clean air and sunshine?

 Hard to know...

Ethan is doing very well, he has now finished all of his ulcer medication and his stomach pains have ceased. It was amazing to see that by day 3 on his medication his appetite returned and his stomach pain stopped. His doctor said all of his tests for celiac, diabetes, kidney issues etc, were all negative. Which we are very happy about. We are coming up on the 3 year anniversary of NO medications! YAHOO!!!!

We are in the wait and see phase right now, the doctor said if the pain comes back, Ethan can take a pill to reduce the stomach acid which causes the ulcers. Hopefully he won't need to go back on the medication. 

Here are a few photos of our trip to Maui, hope you enjoy them!
