Today we got the results of my toddler's test for Celiac disease and it came back positive. We suspected that he had it, but to actually hear the results was entirely different. I'm still in shock. It's bad enough that I have to be so careful and watch everything I eat. Now I have to be doubly careful for 2 of us. I feel bad for him too. But I know he won't remember how regular food tastes like I do. I think one thing I'm worried about (and this is quite selfish) is that I'll be baking a lot more things for him that I wouldn't do for myself-so there will be gluten free bread, cookies, cupcakes and such that wouldn't be there if he didn't have it. I will be more tempted now. I had the realization recently that this gluten free diet really is a blessing because most of the things I can't have aren't healthy anyway. Most of it is junk like cookies, cake, bread and pasta. But now I'm going to have to deal with more temptation now.
Well, I did a WATP video today. I'm just loving this walking challenge. I always feel so good after a workout, especially after walking. Right before my workout, I got the call with the results of Collin's test, so I was a little preoccupied during my walk thinking about that. But I did notice 2 things during my walk: my house is clean and I just loved noticing the lines in the carpet from the vacuum cleaner! The other thing isn't really an observation. I just kept thinking about how God answered my prayer. When Collin had this test done, I prayed for accurate results since false negatives are so common with this test. God answered my prayer. So while I was walking today, I had a thankful heart to God.
