Addie Update...

Addie loves the "Itsy Bitsy Spider" book....its her favorite right behind "Where's Baby's Bellybutton?"......I love to watch Tim read to her....especially this book which she likes to have sung to her...and boy, oh boy, does Tim know how to sing!!!

We took Addie back to the doctor to have them listen to her cough and check her lungs. She seems to have gotten rid of the cold, but the cough still persists, which they think is a mixture of her "asthma" and allergies. The blood work came back from her allergy tests and it pretty much confirmed our worst fears. She has an allergy to MILK, eggs, peanuts, wheat.....pretty much every thing we feed her is not agreeing with her little body. Not to mention a pretty strong allergy to cats and dogs. The doctor told us not to take any actions until we consult with our allergist about what to do with the animals. My heart is breaking, but I will do whatever they tell me to do. Anyone who knows me knows that I love my Sally and Bailey. This doctor is not an allergist and she really wasnt able to explain the ranges for us, but says that our appointment with the specialist will give us a better idea about the animals. We were able to tell that peanuts and milk had the highest numbers followed by eggs. They gave us some pamphlets about what we could and could not feed her, and Tim is at the grocery store now buying a bunch of different things we can try to feed her. I am so thankful that we are getting some answers now, and we can begin to get all of this under control. She is napping peacefully now and had a nice lunch consisting of a banana, plain white toast, and a hot dog. That may be her staple from here on out. Keep her on your prayer list.....
