Change is only change until we adjust.

It seems like everything has been spiraling out of control. School is coming to an end. I'm gearing up to move most of our things to our new home in Louisiana. Clay's athletic events and banquets come all at once. My little guys are just anxious to see grandparents. 

Grant has been feeling better since we have changed his diet to gluten free.  We still have huge decisions to make concerning his esophagus. The whole situation makes me so proud of him. He has endured approximately 60 surgical procedures in his short little life. And we know there are more to come. 

The celiac diagnosis through us for a loop. His stomach pain has subsided but he still has trouble eating meats. He's so cute. He chews and chews and chews. We should all eat like him, I'm sure. We'd be much thinner and healthier. I find he eats small amounts...often. He has really been a trooper about avoiding all those baked goods. 

A friend of his brought cupcakes to school on Friday. He couldn't eat one :( but he was so good about it. I am learning and I will be prepared for next year with frozen cupcakes (gluten free) ready to celebrate anyone's birthday!

Blood tests came back and the rest of our five boys have it too. I am negative! I guess I'll smuggle bread when they are not around. I know that it seems like such a huge change. I know that I can do it for my boys. Once I figure it all out, anything else will feel abnormal.
