No pictures tonight.
BIG changes around here.
Nicholas went to see a specialist yesterday to see if we could get his eczema under control again and instead of getting some new antihistamines and creams, we found out that he has tree nut and apple allergies and moderate to severe asthma. Needless to say, the past 24 hours have been filled with LOTS of changes!
Nicholas has new asthma medicine he has take each night and he's been given some emergency medicines. We've been equipped with a number of epi-pens in the event that he has a serious reaction to one of his allergens. And we got some new cream to help control his eczema!
Every label gets read now and we've been on the hunt for yummy foods that don't have nuts or have not been prepared in factories with nuts. We've also been looking for juices that don't contain apple. It's definitely a new way of life and Nicholas seems to be doing ok with it. He asks if he's allowed to eat certain things and is pretty understanding when we have to tell him 'no'. His school has already stepped up and made everyone aware of his new restrictions. Grandma and pop-pop are already equipped with plenty of snacks and foods that Nicholas can enjoy safely. While this is all new and somewhat frightening I think that as we become more used to it, this way of doing things will become much more routine and easy to follow!
