Allergy Girl

Well, we got Elizabeth's blood work back. We already knew that she has asthma tendencies and eczema. The doc said that she has a high level of antibodies that are associated with eczema. In addition to that here's the breakdown:

Peanuts - Severe Allergy
Eggs - High Allergy
Milk - Moderate
Wheat - Low
Soy - Low

So, she is now allergy girl! LOL We definitely have to avoid the peanuts and peanut products as well as tree nuts (for possible cross contamination) as we have already seen what can happen there. And we also have to avoid eggs and egg products for sure. Do you know HOW MANY things have egg in them??? The milk he said we should stay away from large amount. Well, I guess that would explain some issues we have been having from her countless consumption of yogurt everyday!! Man, she loves yogurt! The wheat and the soy shouldn't be too bad just in moderation is all.

I have looked at some different cookbooks and am starting to get more familiar with things already. Grocery shopping has definitely changed and will continue to be harder for a while I think. But, what do you do??? Not much except just do it. And with a smile if possible right?!?!!

We are so blessed to have this sweet adorable little girl! She truly is a delight so all if this is soooo doable. And in the grand scheme of things, she really is a healthy thriving child. We couldn't ask for more!
