Having a child with Celiac's and trying to keep my grades up

My 17mo old Madalynne was diagnosed with Celiacs when she was 11mo old.  Celiacs is when someones body is allergic to wheat, rye, barley and any gluten that comes from those grains.  Her body was essentially attacking itself anytime she ate any of those grains.  Madalynne has gone through so much in her short little life.  Biopsies, diet changes, ulcers those are just to name a few.  I was attending Kaplan in the process of trying to figure out what was wrong with my baby.  It made it very hard to keep up with my school work, but I managed.  I then believed that if you set your mid to anything you can accomplish it.  I knew going to school, I could better my life for my family and watching Madalynne struggle every day with the stomach pains bloating, the weekly blood draws I could struggle to get my school work accomplished.  We are having some set backs yet again this term with Madalynne.  She is still having the stomach issues that were supposed to be going away by now, she has now become severly anemic and my 5 year old Bailee has now started Kindergarten.  I am hoping that despite all of this going on I will be able to keep my A average while I learn to like writing (not putting it off till the last possible minute) and learning to blog.
