Back from vacation

Hi everyone,
I am back from my mini vacation and happy to report we all had a wonderful time. It rained every day we were there, but we didn't let that stop us. It was a much needed break for the whole family.

During our trip, my kids decided to have a pillow fight(I think this is tradition whenever we go on vacation to have a pillow fight with Dad). Somehow my two youngest managed to smash into each other and my son really tweaked his neck. Thankfully we saw Dr. Asa Andrew today and my son can now move his neck w/out any pain. We hiked to the base's of many waterfalls and I slipped many times on the wet rocks, causing my lower back/hips to go out. I had shooting pains going down my legs last night, but now I am a lot better. I'm still a bit sore, but I think that will pass as the muscles relax. My husband drew me an Epsom salts bath last night, which really helped. I can't remember the last time he did that for me, if ever. I appreciated that a lot and I certainly made sure I told him I did.

I've been thinking a lot about the diabetes issue with myself and allergies. My lab reports are indicating my allergy indices are off the chart. I'm wondering if there is a correlation. Allergies can cause inflammation. What if my Islet Cells are inflamed due to an allergic reaction and what would happen if I could get rid of the allergy and thus the inflammation? I'll start doing more research on this. If any of you have any ideas on this, please send me a comment.

I do know that at the University of Toronto that a research scientist has injected casein into or near the Islet Cells of diabetic mice. In doing this, the mice are almost instanstly cured for the next 2-3 months before they need another injection. They are in the midst of human trials as I type this. Too bad I don't live in Canada! Although rumor says about 8000 people are on a waiting list. Oh well. I'll do what I can with what the Lord provides.

In all of this, do not forget that the Lord is our ultimate healer. It's really all up to Him and His will for our lives. So, I do what I can do and keep praying for discernment and direction.

Tomorrow I see my allergist. Maybe they can shed some light on a few things. Until next time, have a great week!
