Little Pin Cushion
We took Lily and Jon to the allergist yesterday. Jon, while having to have blood drawn, got off easy compared to Lily. She had to do the skin testing for enviromental alergens, 50 plus on her back and 16 on her arms. It wasn’t fun but she and mommy were troopers and at least got to have a special dinner when they were done. We haven’t told her yet that she also has to have blood drawn:(
Oh my God,
I want to go and give her a hug. What a trooper. I’m getting off line and calling now. I can’t believe that she reacted to most of the tests. When Dan had that test done, there were no marks that looked like she does. And he was allergic to all of it. I’m sitting here crying for her. Okay, I’m off. Calling now.
Love you all and thanks for sharing.
Just hung up from talking to Jen. She said that Lily was sleeping, so I didn’t even get to talk to her. Jen did say that she took Lily out to supper, Chick Filet, and they cook in peanut oil(Lily’s allergic to peanuts), but because it was cheap peanut oil it didn’t contain peanut protien and Lily was okay with eating there (her doctor told her it would be okay). I thought Florida’s doctors were bad. Now I’m a little concerned with Kansas doctors. When you want to go out for lunch, do you ask at the restaurant that uses peanut oil, is it the cheap stuff, or do you use the real thing????
Jen, you do a great job, with the kids, but I think Lily should move to Florida and let her Muma, Memere and Auntie Bevie take care of her. Okay, that’s just ’cause we want her here with us. Want to move southeast????
Love you lots, and you do a great job. Just miss you all and couldn’t take the pics.
My heart is there with you and no, I am not moving there. Too cold and windy!
Love you,
Muma
Ok, now I’m in tears too, poor Lily! It brings back memories of going with your mom and Danny when he was little. I remember how awful it was and we felt so bad for him. I give you a lot of credit Jen for hanging in there through it all too. And you tell Lily we love her and hope it feels better soon, I think it calls for a special present to make her feel better. Wish you were closer so we could be more support to you too.
Love Aunt Bev
