Thursday, March 22, 2018. Three weeks ago we made the decision to put Mary on the Ketogenic diet. To do the full Keto diet a child needs to be admitted to the hospital. So over the last few weeks we have been giving her the fats and cutting her carbs. When we arrived at the hospital. within a day at the hospital little girl was in mild ketosis. By Wednesday she was in full ketosis. She gets the reward for getting into full ketosis the fastest! .

Sunday, December 4, 2011. A Voice for the Voiceless. For several months I have been feeling a distinct call to orphan advocacy. I have not been sure what avenue to pursue, whether it be blogging, involvement in a particular non-profit, promoting orphan care in my own little sphere of influence, or something completely different. I began praying, and looking, and listening for an open door. She is on a long road to good health.

Monday, January 27, 2014. Leaving in 5 days! The time has finally come. Zahari will be in my arms on February 3rd! Please pray that this weather gets better. My kids had a snow day Friday and now school is closed today and tomorrow! Pray that Chicago is clear on Saturday so we can fly out. We will arrive back in the USA on February 12th. Dave will be staying behind to hold down the fort. We thought it would be better this way because 12 days away from the kids can be very difficult.
