Family Scraps,
Gluten Free Poor little Kyan has lost his best friend at Kindy. We knew it was coming as his family was moving to Abi Dabi (sp?) but Kyan didn’t quite understand and last week was Kyan’s first week without his best friend at kindy and it is finally starting to hit him. The poor little fella was so close with his best friend and he has been a bit sad this week. Dean took him out to pick up some takeout during the week and sat him on a chair while he ordered, when he finished ordering he turned around and Kyan had a tear in his eye and told him that he wanted William. I broke out in tears when I heard that. My heart just breaks for him but thankfully he has started playing with another little boy and girl in his class. Hopefully in time he will miss his best friend less and less.
One of his teachers was VERY sweet and did a beautiful scrapbook page for them each with photos of the two of them together and framed them for them. They were really lovely photos and the page was just lovely. I also left my camera at the kindy for them to take photos of the two of them and have put those on CD for William and gave it to him on his last day. I am hoping they might email us when they settle in to their new home.
On a brighter note.. I am SO excited! I just got back from the specialist and I get to go back on gluten for 3 months! Yeah. Basically it is a gluten challenge. My last gastroscopy was normal and so now I go on the gluten for 3 months, and have another gastroscopy to look for new damage. If there is new damage then the Coeliac diagnosis is confirmed, and if there isn’t then I am free from this awful diet! YEAH! So for lunch I am going to have a ham and salad roll and we are having La Porchetta for dinner. Pizza is my favourite food so I am REALLY looking forward to it.
Now I am going to go and have a biscuit with my coffee and dunk away! YAY!

Family Scraps Here’s the photo of Dean’s Chicken Pox. Nasty Hey!
Thankfully the rest of him is not quite as bad as his face. The spots on his face are more concentrated and very swollen. He has been using lots of creams, ice packs and washers. The chemist confirmed that they no longer use calamine lotion as it dries them out and makes scarring worse. I never thought it worked all that well for chicken pox anyway when I had it as a child.
Apparently adults scar more easily than children so I bought some bio oil for when the spots are healing. Apparently that is good for the scarring. He has been in bed most of the day today and probably will be tomorrow so hopefully he will be feeling a lot better by Monday. Fingers crossed!
ETA This is his back.. it is twice as bad this evening as it was yesterday.

Family Scraps It is official. Dean has Chicken Pox! Ouchie! We thought he had the flu as he has been sick the last three days but this morning he broke out in red spots and the odd little blister. He went to the doc and she confirmed he had chicken pox.
It has been going around Kyan’s kindy for the past month so as soon as I saw the spots I suspected that might be what it was. Thank goodness Kyan and Jaz have both been vacinated. I think if Kyan was going to get it he would have done so by now, and I think that Kyan probably passed it on to Dean. Certainly explains why Dean had the flu and I don’t! I am usually the first of the two of us to get these things! Since I have already had Chicken Pox I probably won’t get it.
The hubbie of one of the girls at work got it as an adult and has been filling me in on how bad it can be for adults and giving me tips best treatment options. Apparently calamine can make scarring worse! So I guess that is out since he has heaps on his face especially. She said he had the spots for 3 weeks! EEEK We have pinetarsol at home so will make sure he bathes in that plenty. Hopefully he doesn’t get too bad.
I hope everyone at work has had it I would hate to pass it on to them!

Family Scraps I finally got the results of my Coeliac Gene Test. It appears that I do have the Coeliac Gene. BUGGER! Of course, it doesn’t mean I DO have Coeliacs, it just means it is possible I have it so still no answers. It is getting SO frustrating, I just want ANSWERS! I was soooo hoping the gene test would show I didn’t have the gene so I could eat normal again of course then I would still have to find out what was wrong with me.. but at least it would be some progress.. at least I would know what WASN’T wrong with me! LOL Oh well… will keep plugging away…
