Update on allergies

It has been a while since my last post lots of things have been going on and my blogging has suffered quite a bit.  With the kids back in school I can log in now and not get bugged by them while working here on the computer.  Our youngest had his egg challenge and he is still allergic to them he can however  have them in things that have them already cooked in them, the doctor said he may have scrambled or what ever in moderation here at home he breaks out in hives and we have to medicate him but she wants him to keep trying them periodically to see the out come.  We are not doing the Nut challenge as of yet she wants him to be a little older for that one.  His asthma has been in check only a couple of times we have had to give him his inhaler, right after the egg challenge tho we did have to go on the inhaler that had to be given for 2 weeks twice a day because he ended up with a cold, other than that he has been doing great. Since we live in the Midwest our heat and humidity have been very high this summer so I did have to keep him inside for almost 2 weeks so he wouldn't have an attack!

I am trying to work a little from home now as well as drive a school bus for our district, I am with a wellness company that markets over 350 eco-friendly products for your home and family.  If you would like more information on this company please click on my link and request more information.  Live Total Wellness it is a great opportunity to switch stores and never have to pay for product that dont work ever again or just build a part/full time home based business.  I love my store I sit right here shop online and my products are delivered right to my home.  I hardly ever go down any of the cleaning, laundry, or personal care isle in the stores at all now unless of course I need a sponge or something like that!  So please stop by and request some information on how you to can switch stores and shop in your PJ's.

My Son's Allergy Update

So much has been going on since my last post that I really haven't had much of a chance to update you on our son's allergies.  In September we went back to see his allergist and we had a new round of testing done.  It was a good and I wouldn't really say bad but, not so good result.  First off if you have read my beginning posts to this blog you know what we suffered from to begin with.  For those of you who don't he is allergic to milk, peanuts and eggs.  Well this round of testing was to find out if those numbers have went down and to find out what environmental things he is allergic too.  We have a great news on the numbers the milk and egg numbers have dropped, so this coming Monday starting at 8:20 am we have the first of 2 food challenges.  We are starting with the milk and will be at the clinic for at least four hours, more if he has a reaction.  The peanut however (or nut) allergy is still pretty high, while the peanut itself has come down the, brazil, hazel, pecan, and walnut remain very high.  Thus keeping us away from nuts all together.  Now on to the environmental side of things, we now have and asthma inhaler, he was not diagnosed with asthma at this time, it is a precaution.  The reason for the precaution was because of wheezing episodes he had been having.  His doctor wanted us to have the means to stop the episode before it got our of hand.  She does think some where down the line he will have full blown asthma, we are hoping not.  She believes he like so many other children with food allergies is growing into the asthma.  Kinda of like not having a single allergy as a kid but as an adult you get the onset of them all, concept.  So wish us luck on Monday that he passes with flying colors, and he can start having milk, cheese, ice cream and other dairy items he keeps begging us for.  Will try to post an update as soon as I can after the challenge.  

On a side note I was sidelined for about a month after the last post due to our oldest son spilling a drink on our laptop.  He was in the dog house and grounded for it, it fried the whole thing I ended up having to buy a new laptop, and only the hard drive was saved from the old one.  He is now in debt as a 10 year old to pay the saving of the hard drive bill off and the cost of a new computer.  You might think that is harsh but when you have told them not to have a drink next to computer or make their drink next to it the penalty fits the crime!
