Cyclical Vomitting Syndrome = CVS

It's been quite some time since I've last done a blog update.  Several folks have been asking me to get back to it - so here is my feable attempt.  We've been SUPER busy lately - I'll get to those reasons on another blog entry.

Anyway, some of you may know that Joshua has had many vomiting episodes (starting back in November - every 3 weeks or so without any other symptoms).  Well, it's gotten a bit worse so the doc wanted to see him.  He's been diagnosed with Cyclical Vomiting Disease/disorder/syndrome.  Basically, it is best described as a migraine in his stomach.  This happens in the middle of the night and is very scary for Joshua.  We are working through elimnating certain foods from his diet, adjusting sleep times, and some other natural remedies - the meds that he was given cause other crazy side effects that we would rather not have to deal with.  Please pray for our sweet boy - he asks Jesus for complete healing and we believe that Jesus will certainly heal his body of this horrible problem. 

Typically, after an episode he chooses to snuggle on the bathroom floor just in case more vomiting occurs.  It breaks my heart for sure!
