CUT THE CRAP!

So before I even get into this I would like to admit that I am sitting here eating half a donut and I may or may not have just eaten an order of fries. (I mean seriously if you want some good fries check out children's mercy hospital fries-no Emmaus isn't in the hospital, I work here too).

So tonight is my last night at work for 9 days! Yippee! I really am excited to have a long stretch of days off. This AM when I was leaving work I was thinking of all the CRAP I eat (especially at work). So I am setting a goal for myself for the next 9 days. My goal is to eat ZERO fast food. Drink VERY LITTLE soda ( I should make this goal zero...but I want to succeed) and to make dinner every night and a healthy meal. I seriously eat terrible somedays and mostly it is due to poor planning. So I am going to make a good effort over the next 9 days to plan ahead and eat well. I am thinking some kid of chicken dish for tomorrow night. hummmm....  So starting tomorrow morning I am CUTTING THE CRAP!

A little update on Emmaus. She has done REALLY well the last couple of days. She has been very alert and awake and had very very few seizures each day. I wonder if we really are turning a corner. (okay- there are no corners to turn in TSC...just periods of good time verses periods of rougher times) Anyway, we are really pleased that she is having very few seizures. HOWEVER- tomorrow we get her shots. I have heard from lots of parents that shots very much increase seizure activity for a time. So please pray for her (and us) tomorrow. Pray that her mind would be protected from any seizure activity. That the shots wouldn't affect her in anyway really (besides to provide immunity). 
We also went to a talk about TSC provided by Dr. Ess. He is one of the leading researchers and runs a TSC clinic in tennessee. I will write about that another time. It was very informative and interesting.

That's all for now,
Love, LA
