May 6th, 2014 we took my 5 month old off life support. He passed into the arms of Jesus. We only had him home 9 days of his life, and he was in intensive care all of the rest of his life. He was born hlhs, half of his heart just a mass. After his first open heart surgery, he never recovered, and we were transfered to Lurie childrens for a heart transplant. He got the transplant, but suffered severe rejection. It seems like a long dream, and his suffering and pain on earth only help us to rejoice that he is in such a better place now. We love you, Jace, and we miss you dearly.
I have been trying to get back to life, and my 2 year old keeps me sane some days, and drives me crazy other days! She is our biggest blessing, and it is because of her we continue to relinquish control over to God in many areas of our lives. We have learned so much from our children, about control and releasing that control over and over to our God who carries us.
Today I am sick, and I have decided to try blogging again. I just watched Forks vs. Knives on netflix and I would lile to start introducing my family to a diet that will hopefully keep us all healthier, and hopefully we will have more children, free from birth defects.
I also am trying to weed out chemicals from my household, except for the basement for my pottery. I just switched to a shampoo bar, and only wash my face with oil (ocm method). I have dreams for my yard of no weeds and more herbs!
This week on my way to healing, I am hoping to get feeling better, donate blood, make some soap using a cold process and lye, and do some fun fun things with my daughter.
