These are a few of my favorite things

Well, we've done it.  We have worked in coconut oil, egg yolk, banana, and chayote squash into our growing menu.  He has had each of them 3 times with hardly a symptom.  No cough, and very little eye goop came with this rotation.  A first for us.   Our mucous overload hardly made an appearance, another beautiful sign of God's healing mercies.  We are thrilled over here with our progress, remember January?  I asked you to pray BIG with me.  5 foods by March, when he turned 2.  We did it then with 5 broths and beef meat.  Since then BIGGER things have happened.  We slowly have a menu.  Here are a few of our Favorite things:

1. broth (5 different ones)                                10. coconut oil
2. grass fed beef                                              11. egg yolk
3. fish                                                               12. banana
4. sauerkraut                                                    13. chayote squash
5. pumpkin                                                       14. honey
6. celery                                                           15. tea: yellow dock, nettle leaf, chamomile
7. cauliflower
8. zucchini
9. carrots

A miraculous list of 15 items.  With God's help we defeated our list of 5, three times over!!!   I have 3 more items I want to add, before we just sit back and let him start eating larger portions of these items.   Lamb, onion, and dill pickles.  I'm planning to run through the last rotation this week once again, and then we'll start the 3 new foods early next week.

I'm going to ask you to join in prayer with me again.  On July 23, we have another GI appt.  Our iron levels have not been checked since our last appointment in March, when they were deemed transfusion worthy.  He also hadn't grown or gained any weight at that appointment which is a concern.  So this is what I am asking that you will join me in prayer from June 23 until July 23.  A month of prayer.  Prayer that Levi's iron levels will go up, that he will have gained weight, and have gotten a little taller.  I would love to walk out of that appointment with the doctors as pleased as we are with his  progress!
