Sweet

Thank you for all for your prayers. I went to a Endocrinologist and she immediately suggested that I have radiation done to my thyroid. - therefore KILLING my thyroid. It's not my thyroid that's the problem. My body is attacking my thyroid so therefore somethign in my body needs to be changed. I refuse, absolutely refuse to kill my thyroid - I mean, I'm only 25. Jake is seeing a naturopath and an acupuncturist - she's doing amazing things for him so I'm going to see her soon. It's crazy expensive, but I'm willing to do it to be healthy - I'm tired of taking medication (although I'm not going to stop and make myself sicker until I find out what she says). You guys are just so sweet to respond! Thanks for reading!

The kiddos are great. They are wonderful. Halee, 3.5, is momma's girl - and is my big helper. She loves her schoolwork and really wants to go to preschool! She's so funny and this morning after we woke up she was giving Jake hugs and kisses, she told him "pee-ew Daddy", I asked her what was wrong and she said "daddy has STINKY breath" hahaha! Made us both start laughing. Karis, 2, is a little goofball still. She has this crazy laugh and this psycho looks - if looks could kill you, her's would! She still into everything, and if I was healthy she would be fully potty trained (she takes her own diaper off and go to the potty on her own at least 4x a day). Jett - oh boy! He's just 6 months old now! He started getting up on his hands and knees just a couple days before he turned 4 months, he started rocking a couple days later, then after 2 weeks of that he started the army crawl and about a week later he was crawling all over the place. At 5 months and 3 weeks he started pulling up on things - now he's standing up all over the place. He eating baby food like crazy and getting so big!!!

Beth, as one who has to take medication for low thyroid, I can certainly empathize with you on your problem. May the Lord give you guidance and wisdom in finding answers. I am glad you are not killing your thyroid, and I hope with you that there will be an answer that will give you relief.

Richest blessings and love to you, Jake, and those precious babies!

Love,
Aunt Bonnie and Uncle Danny

Our prayers are with you as try and find answers. My mom just recently had her parathyroid taken out which was causing major issues. I heard her frustrations and hope you too can get relief.

Much Love

Beth,
Just hang in there! I am so proud of you for taking your health into your own hands and not just completely depending on doctors for your answers. Alot of times, THEY DON'T HAVE THE ANSWERS!!
God has all the answers though and He hears your prayers. He can use doctors and medicine to get you better and He can also use natural herbs and supplements as well. You are wise to seek out all your options for getting better. We will be praying for you and your healing :) Those children are absolutely as sweet as can be!!

Love and miss you all!
