Off to a good start

I would have to say that 2011 may be looking up for the Alexanders!

We have had two very good, promising appointments after a string of terrible ones.

Today we FINALLY were able and get part 1 of the EE panel for allergens.  They tested him today for food only, 28 different foods.

He cried a little, but just because he couldn't see what they were doing.

Ted and I had to keep him calm and still for 15 minutes while we anxiously waited for the results.

I kept looking at his back, like i may be able to decipher what was what, and predict the changes we may have in store.

Then we heard this loud buzzer, which we HOPED to be the "times-up" buzzer but also seemed like it may be a fire alarm, and nobody was turning it off....... should we evacuate?

no, times up :)

Then..... miracle beyond miracles.  They started reading the results.

Roe tested negative to egg, soy, and nuts.

WHAT!?!?

I'll tell you what, WE get to give Roe some more food!  YAY!!!!

 Milk was bad, real bad, worse than the histamine control that they has for the positive, and we have two more to add to our list of foods to avoid. Beef and Pork (strange? huh)

We still have questions that are unanswered like, why were Roe's Eosinaphil #'s are so high, why he isn't gaining weight on real food, and why food hurts his tummy so much.

I guess it's all one step at a time.

Thank you for your continued prayer,  what a huge answer to prayer that we were able to add more food, when we thought today was going to be all about taking more away.

Thank you.
