It's Official...Warning a Pity Party follows:

My sweet silly little boy has a peanut allergy. We are still waiting to hear to what degree, but the Doctor said we need to carry epi-pens with us everywhere. And we have to train everyone how to use them, nursery leaders, babysitters, grandparents and anyone else we may leave him with. We also have to make sure everyone does not have peanuts around him, and wash down everything that someone has eaten peanuts has touched. That includes any airplanes we may travel in. The Dr. has put such a fear in me that letting him eat one wrong thing, and us not reacting in time could result in death. Talk about scaring you to death!

I know realistically it really isn't all that bad, there are much more difficult things to have and deal with. This is something we will live with and take the extra precautions. But man, there are times when I think, can I take anymore of this? Why us? We already have so much going on between Occupational therapy, feeding therapy, physical therapy and speech therapy, lets just add one more health thing to it all. We are hoping that he will be discharged from his neurologist with the thumbs up in June. He has made such great strides in overcoming everything, that I just feel bad that he has another thing added to the list. I know Heavenly Father doesn't give us more then we can handle, but sheesh.

Anyway, sorry this has turned into a pity party. But it has just been a really crummy day and the phone call from the nurse was the topper. Oh well! Two more weeks until Josh will be done with his busy season and I may get to see him more then a few hours a day. And we will finally get to on our family mini vacation to Monterey! Yeah!


I had been accumulating these pictures of Dallin so I thought I would share them now. Here is my sweet and very silly Dallin:

This is how we found him last night in his crib. He loves to take his jammies off, but these were too tight in the hands and feet. He also loves to sleep with the blanket over his face. I am always taking it off of him.
