Improvements

The boys are beginning to show extreme improvements.


Zach:
He's up to 31.7 lbs, just over a one pound gain. His eczema has almost disappeared completely. He is sleeping way, way better at night. Unfortunately that means he wakes up earlier, but better that than 3 or 4 times up crying at night. Presumably the bad dreams have stopped.

Gabriel:
Temper tantrums have all but vanished. He is still two, but the random meltdowns have stopped and his attitude has evened out. He no longer collapses in rage when he's hungry and I am proud to report that the pound he gained, then lost again from giardia, has made its way back onto his skinny little physique. He's 26 lbs!

I forgot to measure them today; I'll have to do that this week.

Since going gluten free has been so easy we're now starting to lower their carb intake altogether. Their sugar was already pretty limited, but now we're cutting back on grains in favor of fats and proteins. It's along with the philosophy of the Paleo diet, which John is on and I loosely follow.

Praise the Lord for my healthy boys!
