I wrote almost all of this post back on January 29, 2018. It needed some editing and and good conclusion, and somehow I never got around to doing that. So here is what I wrote in January; everything since then will be tacked on to the end. Oh, and…Hello again!!! … Continue reading
Last week I took Jed to the allergist to be re-tested. In about ten days, we hope to start an egg trial for Zac’s FPIES, but we are understandably concerned about doing this since Jed is so terribly IgE allergic to eggs. It seemed prudent to get him re-tested to … Continue reading
Today we are supposed to be in Atlanta, having follow up appointments with our GI and Allergist. We are not in Atlanta. We cancelled the appointments. It was REALLY hard to make this decision. Darrel and I spend our lives trying to make sure our kiddos have the very best … Continue reading
This week is just an Anniversary Week for us, and kick-starting it is today – July 17, 2013 is One Year we’ve been the parents of a child in need of an Epi-Pen. Last year on this day, I took Jed to the allergist to be re-tested for his allergies. … Continue reading
After meeting up with the grandparents (my Mom and the Geek’s Dad) and Mr. Charm, we left to go find some food for me to eat. We were quickly interrupted by a phone call from the allergists office asking if we were okay and where we were. I was a … Continue reading
Yesterday we had our first appointments with the Atlanta specialists. Coming here was a good decision. I have so much to say about how it went and what I learned, but I don’t have a computer and it is far too much to type on an iPhone. So I’ll just … Continue reading
Back in December, I mentioned that we were going to Travel For Medical Care. Next Tuesday is our Big Day. We will see a new GI and a new Allergist on Tuesday, and hopefully get an appointment with the nutritionist they both use. We picked doctors in Atlanta, mostly because … Continue reading
Yesterday and today brought three more diapers I wanted guaiac-ed, so this afternoon I drove the kiddos the 50 minute, 35 mile drive to our pediatricians office. They tested positive. Not even ‘trace’ – just flat-out, full-fledged “positive” (which is a negative as far as I’m concerned). Combine that with … Continue reading
I nursed Mr. Happy three times. Then he started reacting. So I stopped. Bummer for both of us. However, I knew my system wasn’t completely cleaned out, so it’s not really a surprise. I had just hoped that it was cleaned out enough that he would react only as badly … Continue reading
Today was the first day of our whole family elimination diet. I think I jumped into this before I was ready… When I arrived in the kitchen this morning to make breakfast, I realized the only pineapple we had was in the little tubs. Okay, no problem, those will be … Continue reading
