To Summer / Was Re: OT speech

[Guest guest]

Hi Suzanne, Thanks for words of encouragement. I have been

wondering if we are missing some really vital points with the SCD as

we are eating everything that is safe up to 3 months. We started

the diet before I knew about the intro diet. I was at that point

just desparate to get going with healing and hopefully have at least

a few moments of peace in our home some days.

I don't know how or who would take my kids at this point if

something happened to both of us. I know that my birth children,

all in their 30's love them and would do all they could for them but

as I said our one that is married is having such problems that I

think it would break the camels back. I am going to talk to him

this next week.(Truth be known I really do believe that the best

thing that could happen to their family would be SCD but don't

believe that his wife would do it. She has some major mental issues

but another whole book.)

The one thing that I have to relie on is God has promised to take

care of them.

I do have the back up of our older kids and that is great but wonder

if all we have done to heal him would go down the tube.

Well, had better get going. We are going to finish getting our

garden ready for planting today and maybe even get some in.

Be blessed

Sandy
