Look at me! He's ONLY graduating from Mother's Day Out and I have to snap pictures as if this is one of the major milestones of his life! Oh, it's so fun! Walking down the aisle with his best buddy, Noah, and in the middle pic he was showing everyone how he learned to tie shoes and the intimidating clenched fist. I had taken a few pictures and he busted into that pose without warning.

Most all of us have parasites but Landis is loaded with them. I had him go through a screening at Orbit Health Food Store and it named the 6 worst parasites in his body. I brought the list home and Googled them. When I looked up the first, also the worst, it said that there have been only 27 reported cases in humans in the U.S. As I moved on down the list I read that there have only been 4 reported cases in humans in the U.S. of another one of these parasites. Another one of the parasites in him can cause wheezing and breathing troubles. Sounds like asthma to me - yes he has that. Also, one of the parasites he has is a "buski" (pr. boosh' - ky) which is a parasite that eventually "turns into", "instigates", I'm not sure - but it's connected with cancer. We don't want him in there. So I've been working and working with him for the past several weeks to rid his body of these varmints. He asked me how the worms got in his body. I wasn't sure but we found out the main ways he got them was through tap water and dogs and cats. I thought I was keeping my children healthy by giving them water to drink instead of juices and cokes but as it turns out, even though we have a simple filter on our tap it's not getting the bacteria out - just changing the taste. It all sounds pretty gross, I know. But the fact is, as I stated earlier, most of us have parasites to some degree. What's in YOUR body?!

The fist picture looks like you have a little Robertson County redneck on your hands. Is there a parasite that causes that?
