When it rains, it pours!

I had to feature people, but I really couldn't this week! I will do it soon tho, don't you worry!
We just came from another visit from the neurologist for my so, Gabriel, with more news and less money...LOL
We will be trying a new medication on Gabriel and tomorrow I'll have an interesting day observing his behaviors. The doctor said the effect can be seen from the first pill, so I better watch out. We can even see him improving right away, stay the same (and so we'll need more tests) or having a bad reaction to this new med. I'm preparing for the worst while I'm praying for the best :)
We also went to his school to let the teacher know what's going on and that Gabriel will miss few days since I need to watch him closely. She's a real sweetheart, they implement a "card" system for Gabriel with pictures with the different activities he does during his school day and he was so proud to show me that! He's definitely improving! I just wish I knew what I can be doing better.
Plus, my best friend Michele at Sweet Irie is having surgery tomorrow and I really wish I could help her some how! I love you sista!
To adds up, my air conditioning system is giving me troubles, it's leaking on a plug-in wire and my house is so freaking hot that I can cook hamburgers over my counter (YIKES!) Did the rental department cared that it's so unsafe and send someone right away????? hhmmmmm NO! 'Cause when it rains, it pours!

Sunday personal post

Good evening my reader, like all Sundays night, I'm gonna tell you what's happening in my personal life in my amazing journey with my son Gabriel.
We were able to see a neurologist few weeks ago and we will be back in few days.
Gabriel is now on medications and a gluten-free and casein-free diet and he's doing much better. We still have bad days, but he's improving steadly.
And you won't believe hoe much I'm enjoying cooking everything for him from scratch with all those special gluten-free ingredients and how good this "new" food taste.
I came across some very neat recipes on a blog from a twitter friends and would be a sin if I didn't share with all of you. So here it is: Wheatless Meatless where I found the yummiest bread recipes evah! And thanks to my twitter friend, gfveg, for giving me permission to share all this yumminess with you :)
The best news is that Gabriel is eating this special food really good and finally gain some weight after months of struggles for keeping his weight up, so YAY!
We also had his first soccer game yesterday and even tho they didn't really play since the weather wasn't good, Gabriel met some of his class-mate and had lots of fun! I alway love to see him smile really big!!

I'm having a bad day!

oh yes, after few weeks of good thoughts and positive energies, I have a bad day like all the other humans!
Happens! :(
Here the lyric of a famous song that help me in moments like this:

Daniel Powter Bad Day

Where is the moment we needed the most
You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost
They tell me your blue skies fade to gray
They tell me your passion's gone away
And I don't need no carryin' on

You stand in the line just to hit a new low
You're faking a smile with the coffee you go
You tell me your life's been way off line
You're falling to pieces every time
And I don't need no carryin' on

Because you had a bad day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me don't lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
The camera don't lie
You're coming back down and you really don't mind
You had a bad day
You had a bad day

Will you need a blue sky holiday?
The point is they laugh at what you say
And I don't need no carryin' on

You had a bad day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me don't lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
The camera don't lie
You're coming back down and you really don't mind
You had a bad day

(Oooh.. a holiday..)

Sometimes the system goes on the blink
And the whole thing turns out wrong
You might not make it back and you know
That you could be well oh that strong
And I'm not wrong

(yeah...)

So where is the passion when you need it the most
Oh you and I
You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost

Cause you had a bad day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me don't lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
You've seen what you like
And how does it feel for one more time
You had a bad day
You had a bad day

Good bye Patrick Swayze

Patrick Swayze, the hunky actor who danced his way into viewers' hearts with "Dirty Dancing" and then broke them with "Ghost," died Monday after a battle with pancreatic cancer at Los Angeles. He was 57.

And the sky lost a star....we all gonna miss him (and his gorgeous touche!)

Preparing......

...the luggage to spent a couple of days in the big city.
We're going to visit a big specialist for my son in the hope to hear some good news.
But I can't hide that I'm also afraid to the eventuality that we can hear some bad ones.
Either way, we'll need to be strong, so I'm trying to focus on that.
I want to thank one more time friends and costumers that supported me in the past months. Without your support this visit wouldn't be possible. It means to us more that you can imagine.
