April

Time is just ticking away, the days and weeks seem to be flying by. Here we are already into April.... Easter has come and gone and we are looking forward to seeing Ethan's Nephrologist at the end of April. It  will be six whole months since we have seen them. I can hardly wait to see what they have to say. I would love for them to be able to tell me that Ethan is in the clear. That he has outgrown this disease. But I know they can't do that. Only time will tell, and so we keep on, keeping on.

It has also been 3 months, since I have embarked on my own health journey. I have completely changed my diet, finally lost some weight, and I am happy to say that I am feeling much better. It has not been an easy road, and there are days, where I feel so sick of eating the same thing, I can barely choke it down. The rewards have been so great, my migraines and daily headaches are getting less and less. There have even been a few days in a row, where I haven't had to take any medication for my headaches. I had all but given up hope of finding any relief, after so many other failed attempts at finding a "cure". It took me a long time to get to this place, where I was ready for change. I would say I was ready for the pain to be gone years ago, but I wasn't ready for the sacrifice that it would require. It is not easy, and I still crave and miss my favourite foods. But I now realize, the temporary taste, is not worth the pain I will suffer later on. Something my Mother has been trying to tell me for years! No one can make you do anything, it must come from yourself and I finally got "it". My "Aha" moment!!! Taking the road less travelled is hard but so worth it!!!!
