I have a set of twins that were born at 33-1/2 weeks. One of them was born with several structural anomalies, including an esophagus not connected to her stomach and very soft, easily collapsible cartilage in her trachea. She had several surgeries in her first few months of life, and finally came home when she was 6 months old with a tracheostomy. The girls are 6-1/2 now, and Lily struggles with asthma. Reading about Curt reminds me a lot of what we've been through with Lily. I try to be as natural as I know how with her, even though I know very little about herbs. I've been able to limit her antibiotics by using garlic mullein oil to treat ear infections, but I know next to nothing about treating asthma. We've used some essential oils (Thieves blend, R-C blend, melrose, etc) to help with the immune system, but when she gets really sick, I always have to resort to steroids, nebs, oxygen, and sometimes even hospital. And, I hate that she has to have so many drugs pumped into her body. This past winter was a bad one for her; she was hospitalized 3 times, once with H1N1, once with RSV, and once with some unknown virus that exacerbated her asthma. She was also pretty seriously sick 2 other times, where I thought we might have to go in, one time lasted about 5 weeks before her lungs finally cleared. Anyway, I would love to hear more about how you've treated asthma with your son. It would give me ideas of things to try.

I also remember that you were stalwart and brave and the Lord guided you in all your decisions with him.<br><br>You are doing a great job with this story.

It is good to hear that it took you a while to get rid of it also. Hearing you story gives me a much needed reminder that if I keep pushing forward to my goals that I will eventually reach them. It also reminds me to rely on my Heavenly Father more through prayer to overcome some of my struggles. <br>I also love the talk that you linked. It was one of my favorites from conference. I like Brigham Young's quote especially. Thanks again! Oh, and do own Diet Decisions? If so, could I borrow it? I would love to read it!Chelseahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09787075411717856554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7015641473202244138.post-28070669486314975002010-07-28T12:45:17.984-06:002010-07-28T12:45:17.984-06:00I love your blog and recipes.

I had a feeling you were. I have ...So you ARE LDS?! I had a feeling you were. I have been following your blog for a few months now and really enjoy it. I can really relate to your story and it is very inspiring for me. I have Dr. Christophers book and I know how it feels to put your complete trust in Heavenly Father's hands. My kids had an awful cough to where they would throw up every time they coughed. I debated over and over and over whether I should take them in to the doctor because I was losing faith in myself to be able to take care of it. Well, I realized I had to put forth a bigger effort then just expecting heavenly father to cure them! I read through doctor christophers book and found his big section on Lobelia. I made a glycerine tincture and faithfully gave it to them, and what do you know...they got better! The Lord does have his own time tables and we do need to be patient and understand that the only way we learn is through trials sometimes. I'm excited to read your story tomorrow. I too have a sugar addcition and an emotional attachment to some things. But you are an inspiration!
