A little piece of heaven

If I thought of who I was 4 years ago, I never ever ever ever would’ve guessed I’d be who I am today.

4 years ago I couldn’t find the vegetable aisle at the supermarket if my life depended on it. I thought a great meal was finding dollar frozen meals at the supermarket. I thought my mom was crazy the day she talked about eating organic food and told her she might as well just burn her money. 4 years ago I would feel pity when I saw someone in a wheelchair.

Today I look at who I am becoming and I honestly wonder where this person came from! How is it that someone who ate her first vegetable at the age of 18 is now almost fully following a GFCF diet? How is it that someone who doesn’t know her lungs from her kidneys can play “doctor” to a little boy?

Other times I feel that my whole life has been a preparation for who I am becoming. I remember moments of knowing that I was being “made ready” for something big, huge…to be Nathan’s mother. So many events only make sense when I see them from the perspective of being Nathan’s mom.

And you know what… I wouldn’t change a thing about who I am becoming, who Nathan is shaping me into. Being Nathan’s mom is the best thing that’s ever happened to me.

Notice something interesting? Like the fact that Nathan and Lucas are hanging together when they should be 120 miles apart? This is our view for today -home.

Last night after our cop fiasco (see Twitter feed), Nathan started coughing. This morning he was having trouble breathing. By midmorning he was running a fever. By noon I had dumped (well, parked to be exact) the RV at s residential street, jumped in Sienna my minivan (which Tosha drove down yesterday), and was in the car zooming home.

Nathan saw Dr. F and she diagnosed him with a double ear infection, an upper respiratory infection, and mild bronchitis. He’s on albuterol breathing treatments, pulmicort, and amixycillin for the ear infections. My poor baby.

Needless to say the Hbot/Imot program has been postponed until further notice. – hopefully by next Monday the 15th the adventure can resume.

Now if somehow the RV could magically appear outside my doorstep 🙂

After many trials, we made it to the California Integrative Hyperbaric Institute. It was an absolutely terrifying experience as I was driving a 32 foot motor home and, well, it was terrifying. But we’re here and it’s all good. We didn’t make it in time for the first HBOT and suit therapy treatment this morning – it took way too long to get out the door and to drive down – so Nathan only did one HBOT treatment today. Tomorrow we start the full routine. So exciting!!!
