Allergic




For those of you who know us well, know that Caleb is allergic to peanuts/peanut butter. We found this out when he was about a year old I think. I gave him a peanut butter cookie and he started breaking out in rash from head to toe. We were told that he could either grow out of it or have it all his life. Well he hasn't grown out of it yet. So when we had Aidan I wandered if maybe he would have the same thing too. Well so far we haven't found anything that kid can't and won't eat. Not until recently did I discover an allergy. Not to food but to medicine. Aidan had been complaining about his ear hearting and when I took him in to the Dr. he was prescribed amoxiciline. He was to take it once a day for seven days. On the fifth day my little Aidan was covered in rash. No area left uncovered. So to the ER we go and it is determined that he is allergic to amoxiciline and all the other "cilines" . I will be interested to see what my future children might be allergic too.

David and I have been married for twelve years! We have two very funny boys Caleb (10) and Aidan (7) and we added a girl Violet(3)I have been an Army wife since 2004 and feel like I have grown tremendously within that time. It's definately not for everyone but it has helped me to appreciate things more.
