Welcome,

Another month has gone by. Thank God, there’s not much to report on Jesse. He has been doing well and recovered just fine from the seizure back at graduation time. He is going to the summer session of school for most of July, then he’s off school again until the end of August. We didn’t do much on July 4th, just hung around the house mostly and relaxed. After working all week, I am just worn out by the weekend. I think menopause is part of my issue. I am going for a physical on Monday for myself. If anyone is interested in being a "Big Brother" or "Big Sister" to Jesse a few hours a week in the evening before or after dinner or on weeekends, I think he would appreicate having someone to play ball with, take a walk with etc. Just contact me and let know. We don’t have anything planned for the summer, no vacations or anything, so things will be ho hum around here for the summer. Jack’s fishing trips have been minimal this year as well since we don’t have a vehicle to tow the boat with. Please keep praying something changes here financially. I just see the hole getting deeper. I know God can change things, I just pray it is very soon.

Jesse has just started phase two of the biofilm protocol. We have seen a huge change in his BM’s and he is so much better while doing this. I can’t wait to have this protocol done by the end of summer. It’s a slow and gradual process. Many of you ask what is biofilm.

The biofilm produced by these resistant organisms can only be see by electron microscopy and makes it difficult to culture these bugs. So many times we don’t know they are there until we hit major GI issues and sometimes behavioral issues as well, especially OCD type behavior and pain issues from constipation.


Biofilm is: - Resistant strains of microorganisms maintain their viability by producing a polysaccharide matrix that protects them from the hostile environment in which they are trying to survive. This extracellular matrix is called biofilm. Our normal flora also produces a natural biofilm, but resistant organisms produce their own biofilm which then takes over, preventing the normal flora from flourishing.

Here is the page with the protocol listed that we are using.

That's about it for now. Thanks for your prayers, and signing the guest book to let us know you stopped by. We really appreciate our visitors! Remember to keep the other families in prayer as well as your good friends. Sometimes you just don't know, you might be the only person praying for a loved that day, and it will make a difference.
