Hello my friends!
Thank you for all your support and kind words yesterday. Today was a better day.
I felt relief that I could just experience my emotions yesterday and feel what I was feeling.
Sometimes being able to just feel it, helps.

Part of my mood had to do with Maddox and his Migraines.
After his last one, which was different from previous ones, I took him again to the pediatrician.
After a year and a half on the waiting list to see a pediatric neurologist, we will finally have an appointment on May 29th… the first available… (don’t get me started on that!)
They are thinking now that we may not even be dealing with Migraines (believe it or not) and instead, an epileptic syndrome (with a good prognosis, thank goodness).
I have been chasing the cure to Migraines for years, about 3 and a half years.
To find out that there might have been nothing that I could have done, makes me so conflicted. Not that changing your entire dietary program is not worth something, I guess…
I have spent about a week being devastated, sad, upset, angry, frustrated and so many other emotions on the roller coaster and now I am ready to try to put a positive spin on it.
I found my passion through this process. I found that I love holistic nutrition and I want to share it with others. I want to inspire others with my story as a mom, woman, and wife.
What began as me doing everything I could think of to heal my son ( and then heal my husband), blossomed into a journey that is just beginning for me personally.
I have formalized my education and drawn a path toward working with others as a Nutritional Therapist, all because I did what I believed was best for my family.
I suppose once we come out of the depths of our negative emotion, we can find a light shining in…
Namaste. ( that’s my attempt at Zen balance… how did I do?)
Have you been in a negative situation that has helped you find your passion and purpose?
Hi Deb – You need to know you are inspirational even when you were feeling as you were yesterday. I am so sorry you’re having a hard time; it sounds so normal for this stage in your life. I believe it is so freeing to be honest and to vent when you’re not feeling strong. Vulnerability is strength and we are all entitled to some yucky days. I think not fighting and allowing yourself to run the course, whether it’s a day, a few days, a week or longer, it’s okay. Run with it and when you’re ready, you will come out of it. I look forward to hearing more news about Maddox and the possible different diagnosis. And I LOVE to hear you’re so passionate about your new passion. What a great thing for health and calm! xo
Thank you my friend
. We all have valuable stories and experiences to share with each other

Debbie, all of your hard work these 3 1/2 years absolutely paid off. Because you were doing everything right concerning the “migraines” you were able to better track the differences in Maddox’s episodes. Had you not made any changes, and then just received this new diagnosis, it may actually have been harder to accept. By doing all of this, you actually may have found the answer to your prayers, a true diagnosis and relief for your son. Congratulations!!
