Headed back to Mayo 2011


With the beginning of a new year, we are headed back to the Mayo Clinic. When most people are traveling south to escape the frigged temperatures, we are headed north for answers. This time, I am packing every glove, every long sock, every scarf and every coat I can find in our house. I rather look like a fool and be warm than freeze. Needless to say, I was not prepared last time.


Taylor and I have decided to begin the year with a new positive outlook. No this is not a New Year's resolution. I find that New Year's resolutions are usually not kept. This is a state of mind. Positivity=Actuality. If we believe it, it can happen.


We seem to be at a standstill. Taylor hasn't had any significant improvement over the past year. He has gotten worse and recovered several times. We started a Gluten Free diet by choice, and that has seemed to help his stomach symptoms. But the beastly Crohn's Disease is still flaring. Headaches still persist, but with some assistance from Topamax, the everyday headache has dulled.


So as we head to the Mayo Clinic this week, we pray for guidance and clarity for the doctors in hopes that they will guide us down the right path for healing.
