Day 12 and 13: La Jolla
Going to La Jolla (pronounced "la hoya") for the weekend. Will be back later on Sunday. Will post then. Have a fabulous weekend! ~ John and Mom
Hi Tracey! Thanks for sharing with the staff the website that you are blogging this adventure on. What an adventure it is! :) I know I have shared with you my 9 year old daughter's intestinal issues. After talking with you, I scrapped the miralax (rat poison) that the doctor prescribed, and started prune smart and magnesium doses. This has helped Maggie, as we do it every day instead of relying on the miralax for help in having a bowel movement. But after reading your blog, I am not sure we are on the right path yet......after John has had his cell shot, will you see a difference at all (or maybe you have?) Then, how do you keep his vitamin levels controlled internally to help the situation? I am very interested. At least you have a bit of a break from the routine here! Take care, and I enjoy the read.
Here we will be...Sept 15 we leave to begin our new life in China. We're over here through an amazing opportunity through the School District of La Crosse (where I'm a teacher of the deaf at Logan Middle School). La Crosse engages in a teacher exchange program with La Crosse's sister city, Luoyang, China located in the Henan Province. We'll be here through June, 2010. Carl is not with us as his work would seriously suffer if he took nine months off. Please enjoy our blog as we document our adventures!
This is no time for fear This is a time for faith and determination Don't lose the vision here Carried away by emotion Hold on to all that you hide in your heart There is one thing that has always been true It holds the world together God is in control - Twila Paris
