I asked Shaun to come back to the show to have a conversation about a health challenge he has had for the past few years.  Chronic digestive issues along with brain fog has made Shaun’s life difficult to say the least.  And to watch from the sidelines knowing there is very little I can actually do, is a source of constant heartache.  They say ‘a mom is only as happy as her least happy kid’ and on some level I have to agree.

I’ve accepted my lot as cheerleader, head encourager, while asking questions to keep the brainstorming going.  (What is the latest?  What does that doctor say?  What does the other doctor say?  Is there a new plan?  What about the Mayo Clinic?)  He’s been to many doctors, tried many meds, supplements, etc.  It’s definitely a ‘wait and see’ kind of a thing and proving very hard to keep the hope alive.  Of course my despair pales in comparison to what Shaun actually lives day in and day out.  No restaurants, no enjoying family meals, eating four foods and four foods only: poultry, white rice, cooked carrots and peeled cucumber.  Oy vey.  Sometimes I wonder why the answer is ’no’ to the healing prayers I send up.  And yes, I’m aware some people have it worse.  I’m sad for them too.
