It’s been a while since I really just wrote about what is happening with the boys, so here’s the latest: Jed is doing well on our Fructose Malabsorption diet, and we’re trialing him on different foods to see how he handles them. So far, we’ve tried coconut shreds, coconut milk, … Continue reading
…at least, when their Mama doesn’t pay enough attention to what they are teething on! As a modern, good mother, I made sure to get lots of solid wood toys for my boys to play with. Like Jed’s Thomas Trains, and the entire wooden layout. Zac has been delivering tiny, … Continue reading
Sunday night was a bad one, y’all. Despite our new Food Protocols, at 6:00 p.m. on Sunday night Mr. Happy found a piece of breakfast sausage on the dining room floor and put it in his mouth. I immediately started swiping, while he gagged and coughed around my finger. … Continue reading
Do you know one of the worst things about FPIES? It renders you completely helpless. Impotent. Yesterday I changed 8 bloody, mucousy, smelly diapers for Mr. Happy. He screamed in pain immediately after pooping each time; by the end of the day, he was screaming in pain on the … Continue reading

Monday night, the Geek woke up in the middle of the night and went to eat some cereal. Somehow, a bite of cereal managed to crack one of his teeth! He said it hurt like crazy, and was not feeling very well Tuesday. The dentist said the tooth is not … Continue reading
Oh, blood. I never thought Motherhood would bring so much blood into my life. Yesterday Mr. Charm’s first poopy diaper of the day had visible blood in it. As I’ve stated before, that has only ever happened for him if he consumes dairy. So I called the Geek at work … Continue reading
Yesterday morning, the Geek let me sleep in just a little bit. At 8:30 a.m., he walked from the living room, where all the boys were hanging out, to our bedroom, and said “Mama, get out of bed!”. I woke up and said “OK”, he turned and walked back towards … Continue reading
Friday morning, Mr. Happy had a diaper FILLED with blood. It was so acidic, it instantly burned his butt, leaving blisters and raw, bleeding open wounds in it’s wake. I seriously thought I was going to cry. Which just proves that my son is far tougher than I am, because I … Continue reading
