Busy as a bee

I have been beyond busy with a newborn and toddler at home and all the holiday festivities. We have finally gotten appointments to do patch testing (this is where foods are left on the skin for 48-72 hrs depending on with the Dr likes to do). We go in to start it on December 13th but the appointments are 2 hrs away so it will be a long week with us having to head to Sacramento for 3 different appointments.

After 4 weeks of cranberries we still were not sure if Hayls was reacting to them or not as her rash wouldn't go away. We decided to go ahead anyway and try blueberries. Well that pushed the rash over the edge and with 12 hrs pustules had formed and other GI reactions followed. So I am not sure if it was the blueberries alone or the cranberries with a mild reaction made it worse. So we are back to just Elecare and jarred carrots to get to baseline with Hayls.

Heath has been off of breast milk for almost 3 weeks now but his rash is coming back. The only other thing he is taking is Zegerid for his reflux so I am assuming that is causing the problems. However it is tricky to decide do we take him off or leave him on it.

Hopefully I wil have more time to blog in the coming weeks.
