Saying Hi

We haven't posted here in ages, but I thought I'd pop in and mention that we posted on our other blog about our asthma scare at the ER this week.  This is the third time that the little guy has had wheezing in connection with a common cold, so for now, at least, we're adding asthma to our list.  As most of you who happen upon this blog probably know, eczema, allergies, and asthma are all linked, so this isn't a huge surprise to us, although it would be nice to escape it!  Anyway, the good news is that he's much better now, and even ran around the park for a scavenger hunt today with no breathing treatments needed all day.

We survived Halloween, including attending a large party, with no incidents.  Thank you, sincerely, to the makers of smarties and dum dums, for their yummy allergy-friendly treats and product labeling.  Or, as my son calls them, "tee-tee" (candy) and "yapops."

We'll be seeing a new allergist at the end of the month (insurance issues causing us to switch), so I might update again then, although it is only a consultation at this point.  We've had to push back our wheat challenge for now.  

I'll also be posting a review here soon for a favorite new cookbook that promises to make our winter much more pleasant.

I hope you and your families are well.
