Since my last post...
Bad things:
-I found out I am highly allergic to soy, and two of the supplements I had been taking have soy in them (fish oil and glutathione).
-The weather has been unbearably hot, and so I haven't spent much time outside.
-My neck, shoulder, and back problems have worsened considerably.
-I have been particularly sad about only having one child.
-My energy level has decreased (probably related to all of the above).
-I decided there is no way that I can help with VBS this year (and kids have to be at least four to attend without a parent helping). Rebecca and I would have to get up a whole two hours earlier than we usually do, and I just don't think that's a wise idea right now. I disappointed to miss the unique social opportunity to get to know people in our church better.
Good things:
-I got to stop teaching!!!
-I found some rice bread and rice tortillas that I can eat that are tolerable.
-I found some ice cream that I can eat that has no gluten, sugar, corn, soy, or cow's milk in it(It's made from coconut milk).
-I received an upgrade to my CGMS that is a lot more accurate, and I've had a few PERFECT blood sugar days.
-I've gotten to see lots of different family members and friends that I don't get to see very often.
-We got our minivan washed and vacuumed, and it feels like new again.
-I managed to have dinner guests four times and overnight house guests once.
-Rebecca has been wearing panties to bed and has only wet the bed twice in the last month, closer to the beginning of the month.
-We got to pass on all of our extra diapers to some Liberian refugees at church who really needed them.
-My little girl keeps getting cuter every day!

I'm sorry for all of the "bad" developments, but I'm really glad to see your long "good" list! I'm praying for you! Much love, Mom :)
It is always good when we can think of more blessings in life than disappointments. Good job.
What's the brand of the rice bread/tortillas? Always looking for good suggestions!
The rice bread/tortillas are Food for Life; I found them at Whole Foods in a refrigerated section.
