On Monday Alex had his turn with the allergy doctor. He had headaches every day, so his doctor sent him to the allergist. Alex never had hives or a rash . I never thought he could have allergies. Alex is having a very hard time with his new diet. He is allergic to: cow's milk, tomatoes, soy, chocolate, cats, dogs and dust mites.
If you have lost track of everyones food allergies here it goes:(keep in mind there will be a test!)
Jeremiah: watermelon, artificial cinnamon and cilantro
Margie: peanuts and corn
Alex: cow's milk, tomatoes, soy, chocolate, cats, dogs and dust mites
Elijah: soy, tomatoes, eggs, citrus, sea food, cotton trees, cats and dogs
Maya: cow's milk, wheat, oats, eggs, citrus, sea food, cats and dogs
That comes out to be 15 different allergies in a family of 5!
I was thinking that maybe this is a good thing. I have to be a better housekeeper to keep the dust mites down for Alex. We are eating a lot healthier and cooking is getting a lot easier.
Life is full of challenges and we have been blessed with 15 different challenges.

WOW! Thankfully I've only got Todd's almond allergy to deal with at this point...Charlie Brown has allergies in the spring and fall but nothing a good dose of Benadryl won't clear up...we give Saydie some too so she doesn't feel left out! :)
