A Health Update!

I went to the doctors this morning for another Remicade appointment but this time I received it at my doctors office rather than at the infusion center. I was able to talk to my doctor and she helped me to understand where I am at. I will continue Remicade and eating a raw diet. In 6 months, I will receive another MRI. At this time, we will know if I will need surgery or not. The only thing is, I need to go on an even stricter raw lifestyle than I have already been doing. I will no longer be able to eat Wheat or potatoes (sweet, red, regular etc) and a few other small things, but I think wheat breads/pasta/potatoes are going to be the hardest for me to take out of my diet :( we will see how it goes. especially since I am not going to force clayton to eat that way. Anyways, if I want to get off remicade, that is what I am going to have to do.

On a lighter note, here is an awesome blueberry muffin recipe I found and I couldnt stop eating!!!

Also, I wanted to show the Spring Wreath that I made using an old and ugly fall wreath that I was given. I took all the leaves and things off to wear it was plan, wrapped some of that burlap twine around it (had it left over from my wedding reception), and then bought the cutest egg nest and bird at the 99 CENT STORE and the DOLLAR STORE :) I love those stores to find cute decor. I love my wreath and I especially love that it was only 2 dollars for me to make :)

Happy Spring and Happy Blogging :)
