Day 22

[Guest guest]

Day 22

As I was cleaning the kitchen this morning I was looking around

noticing the major changes in my house. I am not talking about new

furniture or new home decor but the major changes in my family. In

addition to who I share about every day I want to take a

moment to share about my other two daughters, Mel's little sisters.

Mindy and Tomi both suffer from running injuries that the doctors even

at Emory were unable to correct. Both girls were finally told they

would never run again. To a person who would run 40 to 50 miles a

week that is the most devastating news a runner can hear. Well I am

happy to say that both Mindy and Tomi are running once again and have

been this past week. They run between 3 to 5 miles a day pain free

since being on the Nutriiveda which is (like 's changes on this

product) beyond words incredible. Wow I was purchasing them new

running shoes and seeing their smiling faces I thought it seems like

we have finally won that battle!

Mel was using her computer while I was cleaning the kitchen and as

happy as she could possibly be. The patience she now display with

everything is amazing. Her touchscreen would not work yesterday and I

had to fix the computer so she could use it. She just sat there and

kept patting my back and saying it's ok while I was trying to figure

it out. I finally was able to get it to work but what really

impressed me is that Mel sat there the whole time and encouraged 'me'

for a change!

We have been going out each day and staying out for long periods of

time and Mel is really enjoying herself. The new habit she's picked

up since on Nutriiveda she still likes to pick on her sisters while in

the car. I'm guessing how long she really has been wanting to do that

but couldn't. She no longer brings magazines with her to look through

as she is too busy paying attention to her sisters. Mel is continuing

to use her words more but I am also noticing that she is saying them

with more of a positive tone as her words seem clearer and stronger

when she speaks. It seems like she is getting more confidence in

herself. Don't get me wrong Mel still has a very long way to go but

in addition to not saying that much, what little she did say she never

had the confidence when saying it.

We are going on a day trip on Tuesday. We are driving to Tennessee as

a friend would like to try the Nutriiveda so we are delivering a

canister and having lunch with her. Our friend has followed our

daughter Mindy and her many issues with her stomach and legs prior to

Nutriiveda and now sees how well Mindy is feeling and the energy she

has and the ability to run now each day. My friend works a very long

day and owns her own business and she is looking for a way to eat

healthier and gain more energy as her work day begins at 5:00am and

does not end until after 7:00 in the evening.

I am now able to participate in Tomi's rehab and take her to the park

each day to run since Mel is now walking with me. Last year this time

or even last month this time that would have only been a dream as Mel

would never be able to participate in a 2.2 mile walk each day either

physically or emotionally. Tomi hopes to be able to return to

competitive running one day and I am so excited that I can actually

get out each day and help her and have with me.

In addition to my children doing so much better in so many regards, I

finally feel like I have the freedom to come and go as I please as

finally be apart of the world myself instead of always having to be in

the sidelines with . The changes that Nutriiveda has given to

our family is simply amazing. I would not believe the changes if they

were not happening to our family and can only imagine those that read

my blog must wonder if this is all for real. I know it all sounds too

good to be true, I still think that even though it's all happening

around me. It's like a dream. It's like waking up after 25 years.

Mel's doctor is amazed all all of this as well!

opened a Christmas present from her favorite Uncle and she

said " this is so nice " very loud and clear. I wondered how many

times she wished she would have been able to motor plan that sentence

when given a gift for so many years. But how many times did she think

that sentence and nobody had any idea of what she wanted to say.
