Ian's World: There is No Such Thing As Safe
http://ianthom.blogspot.com/2010/04/my-greatest-lesson-there-is-no-such.html
Saturday, April 10, 2010. There is No Such Thing As Safe. Why are we here? What is the meaning and purpose of life? Why is there evil and suffering in the world? Why is Ian suffering from birth defects and other conditions? The Purpose of Elijah Prince. However, is his conclusion correct? But is this really the answer? It just feels plain wrong! Let’s pretend for the rest of this post that Elijah is a real person and not a fictional character in a story…. Are some of us created to be evil? Truly, I was c...

Ian's World: Feeding Ian Just Got Better
http://ianthom.blogspot.com/2010/07/feeding-ian-just-got-better.html
Thursday, July 22, 2010. Feeding Ian Just Got Better. Today the Thom family celebrated a MAJOR victory.Ian is now opening his mouth wide and taking big bites! As you can imagine, feeding Ian 3 to 5 times a day has required us to be dedicated with our time and disciplined with our emotions. To meet his needs, Valerie and I have had to work as a non-stop tag team (with the occasional relief from Aunt Theresa - Thank God for you my sister! Way to go, Ian! July 22, 2010 at 10:45 PM. I am so proud of both of ...

Ian's World: Why Manmade Toxins?
http://ianthom.blogspot.com/2009/08/my-greatest-lesson-why-manmade-toxins.html
Sunday, August 9, 2009. Why is Ian's Body Defective? So, after all the stuff I have written about manmade toxic chemicals that we are exposed to, do I really believe that these are the cause of Ian’s health problems? Why are we polluted? So if these manmade toxins are so bad and this is such a problem, then why isn’t it part of the conventional wisdom? Why don’t more people know about this danger? Why don’t we hear more about this on the news or from our government officials? That video was the preview o...

Ian's World: I Don't Got All My Toots
http://ianthom.blogspot.com/2010/07/i-dont-got-all-my-toots.html
Saturday, July 31, 2010. I Don't Got All My Toots. Here are some pics showing the things that we have been doing this summer for fun. My favorite is the train pic, because of what Ian said. Ian calls trains "toots" because of the sound they make. Today when he finished his meal at Grammy's house, he wanted to play with his toots, but when he got to the track, he realized that some of the cars were missing, so he said most emphatically, "Grammy, I don't got all my toots! August 1, 2010 at 2:34 PM. The Har...

Ian's World: Lord, Give Me Wisdom!
http://ianthom.blogspot.com/2010/08/lord-give-me-wisdom.html
Saturday, August 21, 2010. Lord, Give Me Wisdom! Do our choices matter? Do we really have the power to choose one way or another within our given circumstances? Or, as some claim, are we just characters acting out a story that has already been written, only able to perform our parts exactly as the great author has directed, down to the last word, letter and punctuation mark? If I believed the latter, then why would I need to pray for wisdom? And at this point, we don’t know what to do. August 22, 2010 at...

Ian's World: Why?
http://ianthom.blogspot.com/2009/07/my-greatest-lesson-why.html
Saturday, July 25, 2009. It’s the Question that Drives Us…. I have had all kinds of why questions around Ian’s birth defects and feeding problems. These questions matter to me. They are important and the process of asking them and seeking the answers is very emotional. In our deepest despair, my wife and I have cried in desperation asking “why, why, why, WHY! Natural and Manmade Causes. Because current conventional wisdom already agrees that natural dangers are bad. Almost everyone knows that too muc...

Ian's World: Who To Cook For???
http://ianthom.blogspot.com/2010/07/who-to-cook-for.html
Tuesday, July 20, 2010. Who To Cook For? When Ian first started eating solid foods, I could not get him to eat anything that did not come in a jar. I tried to make his baby food, but could never get it quite as smooth as jarred food without adding so much water that it had almost no calorie content. I continued to try homemade baby foods periodically, and eventually Ian began to eat them. I was so pleased! I made an immediate decision that I was not cooking for Ian any more. Instead, I started a list...

Ian's World: Non-Stick Stuff that Sticks to You
http://ianthom.blogspot.com/2009/03/my-greatest-lessonnon-stick-stuff-that.html
Monday, March 30, 2009. Non-Stick Stuff that Sticks to You. Do you like microwave popcorn? Or take out pizza? How about fast food hamburgers, hash browns, and french fries? Do you like butter? If so, then you are very likely one of the 99% of Americans that have perfluorinated compounds (a.k.a. perfluorochemicals or PFCs) in their blood. PFCs are a family of chemicals that make things “better”. For example, many of these chemicals make things stain, grease or water proof. So is this PFOA a big deal?
