thank You Lord

today marks 4 years since deqlan was diagnosed with nb

i had every intention of celebrating today and the miracles god has performed through our beautiful boy

i had a tough few moments today thinking back to that day and it took nanna to help me cut the handcuffs off the fear and those memories and throw away the key, for me to snap out of it

nanna always makes things better and she told me to look at the rainbow we have in deqlan, after the storm has passed.

thank you lord for healing our precious deqlan and for answering our prayers as we pray for them- there are never going to be enough words and ways i could thank you

you are so mighty so gracious so merciful

your love shines through deqlan every moment of everyday and in everyway

we are so humbled and blessed

thank you lord that he is thriving and happy and healthy and ned

plse lord continue to have mercy on us and mercy on deqlan and keep him ned forever and ever

let your holy spirit flow through every part of his body protecting it from all harm

thank you prayer army for all your loyal love and support and above all prayers

plse continue to trust and believe and stand firm with us on deqlans total and permanent healing that he remains ned forever and always

all our love and thanks and praise

by jesus stripes deqlan has been healed

"for i know the plans i have for you " declares the lord "plans to prosper you and not to harm you plans to give you hope and a future"

'YUM YUM, DELCIOUS'

Some more pictures from family day, taken by the very talented Karl Rogers

Our Gorgeous boy, also know as Mr Independant is doing very very well

He has a bit of a cold at the moment, and we watching him closely - as Keaton and Khloe and Megs all sick and on antibiotics - Nanna also feeling fluey and me to ! He is holding his own and only battles with a cough and sneezing when he wakes up after sleeping.

His indenpendance seems to strengthen every day. He has to open the car door, he has to close it, he has to get into his car chair, he has to open the door for him to buckle him in, he has to open the car door when we get home, he has to unbuckle his car chair, he has to close the car door, he has to putthe light on, he has to open the door into the house from the garage - and if by accident, we do it for him him or try and help, we start allll over again so he can do it - you get the picture now im sure?

Deqlan has become a master of putting his pants on and off, something that was a real battle for a while, cause we just wanted to help him , a natural instinct, but after only a few days, by George his got it!

The diflucan seems to have decreased levels of frustration !

Went to an awesome health shop in Johannesburg today and got the most amazing chocolate mousse cake made from avocado!!!!!!!!!!! i couldnt believe my eyes and Deqlans taste buds were delighted , it looks like and tastes like the real deal! We also got his beloved rice ice cream which he loves and even helps him self to :) we got some biscuits and even a slice of gluten casein yeast sugar soya free carrot cake :)

Speaking of delicious, Deqlan still has a taste for all things that feed gluten and candida - like, the newly framed glass door at school - the panels are held in with putty , which Deqlan finds irrisistable ! I was horrified to see that he had taken around 30 bites out of it when i collected him from school last week- how on earth did no one see him do this?? Along with the delicious taste of putty , comes green paint - heavens knows how much of this stuff is in his tummy and affecting his behaviours ???

I also caught him eating chalk behind the book cabinet, when i dropped him off yesterday - he gave himself away when he smiled, and a blue tongue shone through!!!!!

Another favourite is glue - every arts activity at school , or even glue that holds pages of magazines together, is another delicious treat - oh my goodness, we have to watch him so closely - he just knows what has gluten in and will try really hard to get to it !

We also catch him in our freezer , trying to get a lick of the normal ice cream or left over mc flurries ! Then when we come to see what he is doing, he will look at us with his big green eyes and say ' YUM YUM, DELICIOUS'

Hopefully the new treats i got today will keep him interested in allowed foods he can enjoy and forget the glue, putty and chalk for a while!

Hope you all have a great weekend!

God Bless

Love

Mothers day celebrations

my precious gift from God

Poor Megs had such a rough day, she opened the boot of her chrysler and wasnt paying attention how close she was to the boot and it hit her on the nose and knocked her out! Keaton was so sad and not feeling well either, cause he had a very bad toothache!
