Jalon had his appointment with the allergist today. He was such a trooper. We had to hold him down on his stomach while they put drops of allergens on his back and then prick his skin. He is way too strong for his age! The whole time he was trying to get away, he was working hard and well, so were we. He was straining so hard, he now has some busted blood vessels on his face, what the heck!?!? He was fine after that quick process was done. So the test results....he still has a milk and egg allergy, BUT no soy allergy and the peanut one is now questionable. We are SO thankful to God for the progress that we have seen and the deliverance we have. There is always something to be thankful for. Jalon won't eat much soy but it doesn't open up a few new recipes. Some with soy sauce, or even some meats that have some soy protein in them. Now, I said the peanut allergy is questionable, so you may be wondering what to do with that information?? Well, we have to just try it out. The doctor said to try it in stages. First, rub a tiny amount of the inside of his lip, wait 15 minutes and see if there is a reaction. If none, put a pencil lead amount on a cracker and let him eat it, wait 30 minutes. If no reaction, keep increasing the amounts little by little. If he still has no reaction by the time we get up to 1/2 tablespoon, then he's in the clear. If you are ever wondering if your child has a food allergy, he said this was a good way to try out any food. So, we are going to try this out in a day or two. Please pray and believe with us! We would really appreciate any added prayers in this category.
Eddie's parents will be here in a couple hours. We are really looking forward to their visit. I'll be offline for a few day due to visiting and also getting our computer fixed. So, have a wonderful rest of the week and weekend. Love you all!
