It's been an interesting and challenging summer for our family. On top of the "imminent move" and all the stress associated with it, Alexi has been quite sick since I took my first trip to Houston, the last week of June. After taking him to our Family Doctor, he was referred to a GI specialist at Children's.
It took about 2 months of testing for Alexi to be diagnosed with an Autoimmune Disease.
He is doing well, responding to the initial steroid treatment. He is also accepting pretty well his new condition. He turned 18 last week. I think it is a relief for him to know what it is, to get on medication, so he can get well and get on with his life.
As for me, it's been hard, I couldn't have gone through this summer without some serious support and help. Sarah has been a God sent angel, so has Justine and even Emric who have helped a lot by watering every day and getting the house ready for showings... I am so grateful for them. I know it's been hard on all of us, but we will make it through...
