Updating here from now on.....

I've decided this is much easier to do in order to keep everyone updated on what our girls are going through. Everyone can just come to this blog site to catch up.

I will post on here at least once a week or as we have new information.

As of today, Anna will be having more lab work done tomorrow afternoon to test for all of the following food allergies:

codfish
flounder
salmon
shrimp
trout
tuna
turkey

apple
banana
coconut
grape
melon
orange
peach
pear
strawberry
watermelon

green bean
broccoli
carrot
corn
green pea
white potato
pumpkin

sunflower seed
oat
macadamia nut

baker's yeast
brewer's yeast

She just received an appt to see the Pediatric Gastroenterologist for Thursday, April 24th! So we only have two weeks to go for that. We were going to have to wait for three months, but after the dr reviewed Anna's records and results from the allergist, he decided he wanted to get her in soon and made room for us.

I will have the results for the above foods early next week, and will post again at that time.

Anna goes back to her pulmonologist on Wednesday, April 16th for a re-check since starting some new meds for asthma maintenance.

Meredith will see the pediatrician on Monday, April 14th for her check-up and to recheck her ears. The last test a few weeks ago at the ENT showed her right ear drum still wasn't responding much to sound. When she saw the pediatrician a week and a half ago, the fluid was pretty much gone from her ears, yet her ear drum still wasn't responding to sound like they would hope it would.

Meredith will see the allergist on Monday, April 21st to start the blood testing for food allergies. We believe she has at least a few. As a baby, we had positive test results that she did. She was also recently diagnosed with asthma so she will continue to see this allergist because they treat both asthma and allergies. We have been very pleased with this dr and the office.
