Health Update....

A lot of you have been asking how I've been feeling and I finally have an update!!! I went back to the doctor last week and got the results of some bloodwork from a few weeks ago. It seems I have developed allergies to things that I have never been allergic to before. In addition to pollon and cats (a lifelong allergy) I'm allergic to 4 types of trees, three types of grass, peanuts (I love you creamy peanut butter...i will miss you!), soy, corn (seriously?!?!), and a couple other things.

My doctor told me to go back to the specialist and do more thorough food testing. The human body is so weird AND amazing too me. It was a little sad (as i will miss certain foods) but I'm glad I'm finally starting to figure things out. Hopefully I will begin to feel better.

Thank you to everyone for praying for me. The Lord is my great physician, and He is faithful to not let anything happen that is outside of his control, even my health. I truly am thankful for my health and know that there are many people who are a lot worse of than me and can't afford treatments.

*Today I am thankful for tortilla chips (corn based) that I can't eat anymore.

If you're missing the peanut butter can you try sunflower seed butter? It's from Trader Joe's and it's super tasty!
