Slow and steady wins the race

I was always an impatient person. I hardly rechecked my tests or assignments before handing them in (yes even in college). I just didn't have the patience. I always wanted things done right away and once I thought of something to do I would jump on getting it done, even at 2 am.

Then I had a baby with something the Drs couldn't figure out and my patience started to wear thin. No one could "fix" her, no one could help us or give us answers.

Two and a half years later I have learnt by experience that slow and steady wins this race and with it comes a lot of patience.

We are still at the same number of "foods" but are slowly plowing forward. We tried Elk broth two weeks ago and both kids got cranky with runny noses at the same time. Coincidence? No clue if it was the elk or if they both caught something at the exact same time. We decided to store the elk in the freezer and move onto fish. However, before that we added in fermented cod liver oil applied to the skin and gave that a few days to be sure it was OK. No rashes or problems with it yet, besides the smell, YUCK! As a lotion we also use coconut oil on the skin and no problems with that thus far.

For those of you that don't know, food or products applied to the skin can cause reactions so we have to go slow even with these applications.

We are happy that the food products are growing over time even if applied to the skin :)

The kids are doing great and therefore so are we. Last weekend Hayls even slept for 12 hrs straight! Of course she hasn't done it since but it was great and a sign of progress on GAPs even at our beyond snail pace.

Thank you everyone for your support!

We soon come fish, we soon come ;)
