A Revelation & Progress; 1AM ramblings

Since we cut all gluten & dairy out about a week and a half ago, Ellenor has slept through the night more consistently, more than half the nights!!! 🤩👍💜

This is absolutely huge, as for the past 6 months or more, she has been awake at least once a night.

Granted, she still wakes up around 5am some mornings, but I’ll take it.

I was thinking (as I was tossing & turning in the middle of the night), that I have realized that for myself, if I eat a food that I’m sensitive to (like gluten & dairy!), I do not sleep well & often lie awake in the night for hours & wake up early with a racing heart…

What if it was the same for Ellenor? It would make sense, now that we know she has the same tick-borne illness that I do!! She is too young to be able to put it into words & I didn’t really ever consider it because most of our kids have woken up in the middle of the night at this age.

All that to say, I’m glad we made the hard change & I hope we continue to see positive progress! ❤

Middle of the night ramblings….🥴😊
