Soda Pop Free

This is a real record in our house. Justin has not had soda pop for three weeks! A few days before he really got sick, he quit drinking pop. He felt that his heart racing in the middle of the night was from caffiene, so he just went cold turkey. We later learned that it was probably either seizures or pressure from the tumor on his brain. During the time he would normally have caffiene headaches, he was in the hospital, so he missed all of those. I think he is glad to be off of it. Now he is drinking water, juice, and Gatorade. He was laughing because pop is $1.50 a can at camp-he said you'd have to want it pretty bad to pay that! Fortunately, non-soda drinks will be plentiful at camp, so he will be able to stay off of it. Good. I stopped drinking soda when Justin was in 4th grade and haven't missed it. Well, once a year I really get a craving for an A&W root beer, but that goes away. Good for you, Justin.
