Luke's Health Journey - The Beginning

I just knew something was off. It wasn't like there was an obvious something wrong. It was the little things.
- He cried a lot more and emotionally unstable
- His poops weren't normal
- His stomach hurt a lot
- He whined and wasn't happy
- He quit eating most meals
- He was becoming less coordinated and struggled with balance
- He couldn't stand being wet or dirty
- He drooled a TON
- He didn't seem to be the same boy he once was
- His speech wasn't clear it was getting worse


I first focused on his stool. It seemed odd to me that he had never had a solid stool. But, the tests came back that he didn't have a parasite and that he didn't seem to have an infection.
I then looked into milk and gluten allergies. After cutting them out for almost 2 months, I didn't see any difference. It didn't seem to be a food allergy. During this time I kept having this feeling that it was urgent.
I then decided to go have his hearing and vision checked. Maybe he wasn't hearing the words or maybe he wasn't seeing my lips move. Lip tie? We had it all checked and all was normal.
I didn't want to keep just guessing at what could be going wrong. I could see Luke getting worse as time went on.
It was then that a friend of mine suggested I talk with a homeopathic doctor because she would look at the situation from a whole body type thing. I was willing to talk with her but I didn't expect her to be able to put all the pieces together and give me a game plan.
She asked a lot of great questions and gave me a lot of time to process with her what all I was seeing, which I really appreciated! I felt heard.
She had a lot of information for me to look into and read but her biggest suggestion was to buy the book, "Gut and Psychology Syndrome" -Natasha Campbell-McBride. I did, and I read through the book in 3 days. It was fascinating to me. So many things made more sense to me, it really did feel like it connected the puzzle pieces of Luke and it really convinced me. We needed to go on the GAPS diet.

Pick mine!!

Marry my daughter please. She is 25 and successful at her career. 5" 1' and 90 pounds. Smart, knows Chinese, English, Japanese, and German. Plays Violin, piano, and owns a car. Sound like a newspaper add? Its because it is. The paper and flyers you see here are from parents and grandparents trying to find their son and daughters spouses! These are people carefully picking their selections. I couldn't believe it....but what was crazy is that this went on throughout the whole park. I mean thousands of adds everywhere. I wasn't sure what I should think about it....but i found it very intriguing. How would you like for your parents to go the park every weekend to try to sell you to those who passed by?

A bear stole my seat

I was on the subway heading to a birthday party for a teammate when all of a sudden a huge teddy bear came walking in. I soon found out, that there was a lady behind the bear. I couldn't contain myself. I had to be a tourist at this moment. I laughed whipped out my camera and capture this image of "China" for you all. I am sure subways in New York are crazy too, but people watching at a subway in China could be a full time job!

Dancing in the park

Last night was a lot of fun! We had mexican....it wasn't Los Bravos, but it was a nice break from garlic! :) We walked home from dinner and what happened from there was a blast. In America after dinner, for the most part, we sit on the couch and watch TV. In China, TOTALLY different. The evening is where it all takes place. Everyone is out and about. Walking through the parks,talking and playing games on the street corners. The street food is grilling and the air is full of laughter, horns, and music! I love it here at night! The sense of community is something westerners should be envious of! As we walked home we passed many parks. In the parks are walkers, people doing Tai-chi, and women dancing!We normally walk by taking pictures, but as we walked by the last park we could not help but hear,"HOOP there it is"!!! We stopped dead in our tracks, gave our bags to the husbands and ran to join all the women in their evening exercise! This was SO much fun! Of course we look
