HI AGAIN!!!!!
Well, I have been at Ginny's house since Monday now. I created this blog actually while I have been here. On Monday, my first day I remember I didn't think I was going to like this diet (its macrobiotics <-- it even sounds nasty), but turns out it was AMAZING! We had rice, barley, and spelt for BREAKFAST, stir fry and lentil soup for LUNCH, and broccoli, lentil loaf(like meatloaf, but less..... meaty), spaghetti squash, udon noodles, and broccoli pickles ALL for DINNER!
Be honest.. how AMAZING does that sound!? Pretty good right? It was!
After dinner I had this small glass of aloe juice and other immune juice (i'll post pictures eventually),surprisingly it tastes like a really good like fruit juice!That night I used an ionized machine on my feet. It pulled out all the bad and nasty stuff out. I even had parasite, and again I will post pictures eventually.
Now that was all Monday. Now time for Tuesday.
Waffles without flour?! Yes. It IS possible, and it is pretty good! I got a ginger compress on my back that day, and the next, you do it for three days in a row, that means my last one is tonight. I am quite excited. You lay on your tummy while watching TV and she puts a HOTTTTT towel on your back and you lay there for about 20 minutes and she(Ginny) is always lifting it up and dipping it in the hot water again.
Well, I don't understand this book we are reading for English, so my mom is going to take me to the movie store and hopefully we find the book, wish us luck!
I hope we don't get lost. Oh goodness.
COMMENT!!!! OR QUESTION!!! !PLEASE! I like reading them!
Harley - I found your blog through Ginny. As I'm reading it all I keep doing is getting teary. YOU ARE AMAZING GIRL! SERIOUSLY! I'm so incredibly proud of you (not only for traveling all the way to Tennessee but for also BLOGGIN sbout your experience!) It helped me soooo much when I was healing to keep an online journal. If you ever want to read it (and about all my crazy stories being in the hosptial and what it was like to turn to macrobiotics) I'd be happy to share it with you.
ReplyDeleteMeanwhile KEEP IT UP! Enjoy the lentil loaf! It's the best. And Ginny's the best. I love her too and want to be just like her one day ;)

Thanks Marisa!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI know I love it! I don't even like meatloaf, yet I like the lentil loaf. Weird. I'll check out your website when I get the chance :)
Take Care!

I have a feeling this blog will eventually be extremely valuable, not only to other children with Crohn's, but to parents and even medical people who will want to learn through you what works and what doesn't when treating Crohn's. If you ever get to the point where you don't feel like it's worth it to post what you're going through, do it anyway. I believe more and more people will be relying on the information.
ReplyDeleteI also think you're going to make some great friends along the way.
You're doing a great thing! Good luck!
Michele
Thanks Michele
ReplyDeleteMy mom was talking to me about this the other day. I decided to make the blog becuase I am down at Ginny's house, beginning healing, and when is a better time!? Right!?
So I started it ALL on my own, my mother was QUITE surprised. hehe :)
