Praise Report

Last year in November/December....Gabe looked like this: You could count all his bones, he had no fat and he had a bloated little tummy. In November, he threw up for a solid month...at night time only. Then he began to have smelly gas and awful diarrhea. Then he started becoming lethargic and laying around the house. Then one day he started saying his tummy hurt really bad and cried all day long. We decided after a month of this and months of our little boy becoming irritable and not happy anymore......something was not right.
So we spent a week at an amazing hospital with amazing doctors taking great care of Gabe.

After much testing, they figured out Gabe had more major allergies than we realized. We already knew he was very allergic to dairy products but now we found out he was allergic to wheat, soy, nuts, eggs, gluten....and many, many environmental. So we put him on a strict diet, put him on allergy meds every day, tore the carpet out of his bedroom, and did everything we could think of to make him a happy boy again.


Now almost a full year later, our happy boy is pictured above..
We did bloodwork on him again. And get this:
EVERY.SINGLE.THING he was allergic to came down in numbers. MEANING: He is growing out of and being healed by Jesus of all his allergies!!! Oh my goodness!!!!!! AND GET THIS:
1-He now shows NO ALLERGY to wheat, soy, nuts, and eggs!!!!!!
2- His dairy allergy which was very close to deathly came down 55 points!!!!!! Yahoooooo!!!
The tree disease/leaf mold allergy however only came down .10 points so we're gonna attempt to cut down some of the limbs of the tree right by his bedroom that has the disease and pray that makes a difference.
We are very very very thankful to God for this praise report!!!!!

Laura, I started following your blog right around the time Mr. Strough said that your little boy was sick last year. Seeing how much Gabe has improved in just a year is such an amazing thing!
