Recently Ken and I have been experimenting with solid foods on Ash. It's almost as though we take one step forward only to take two steps back. We've tried rice cereal (one milk product, then one without), bananas, carrots, apples & honeydew melon. And out of all that, we've only been able to stick to apples, carrots and melon. He's broken out into hives, and recently has developed a rash covering his back, which we thought was calming down, but now has started to move to his tummy. So back to the doctor we go... We've been patiently waiting for an appointment to see an allergist, but after the second breakout that doesn't seem to be getting better quick enough, I'm afraid I'm going to have to turn "momma lion" on the doctors in order to get Ash in to receive the appropriate testing. But in the thick of all this, Ken tries to get me to look at the positive, "At least it's only a minor reaction," or "he's a great kid! You wouldn't even know he's having a reaction," or "babe, he's going to be fine!" After numerous attempts to calm me down, all I have to do is look at his adoreable little face gobbling up carrots to know that we'll figure all this out in due time. Yes folks, I've definately become my mother!
