Cooking with Daddy

-Richard made cheesy hashbrown casserole, a very high calorie and very yummy dish tonight. I LOVE it, it is a Hamburger Helper meal and I had never had it before I met Richard. Richard cooked it for me one night while we were dating and this is what he cooked (won my heart/tummy). Daniel wanted to help and did a really good job pouring and stirring.

Pediatrician Follow-Up

-Daniel is still showing lots of signs of anaphylaxis. He has had welps come and go all day, thrown up a couple of times, had diaherra, refused to eat, acted as he was itching and acted like it was painful to have clothes on. The picture above was taken before Daniel left to go to the doctor's appointment. He looks so pitiful and has looked like this all day.
-The nurse from the doctor's office called this morning and asked us to make a list of foods that Daniel eats reguarly. The plan is to begin allergy testing by drawing blood today.
-Richard took Daniel to his appointment this afternoon. They were not able to start allergy testing today since Daniel is still showing so many signs of anaphylaxis. They increased the dose of steriods, the dose is actually stronger then what they would normally prescribe for someone Daniel's size and age but they are very concerned that he is still showing so many signs of anaphylaxis. The doctor prescribed an epi pen that we are to have with us at all times. We are to call the doctor on Friday to let them know how Daniel is doing and if he is better we will start weaning him off the steriod. We are to take Daniel back on Feburary the 2nd for allergy testing.

Oops.....

(I wish I would have gotten Daniel's reaction but I was laughing and quickly snapped the picture so that I wouldn't miss it.)

Family Movie Night


-We enjoyed a family movie night tonight. We allowed Daniel to stay up later than usual (he had a late afternoon nap), after Caden went to bed we popped some popcorn and enjoyed watching "Ice Age 2". Daniel "invited a friend" (Mr. Gecko pictured above). Daniel really seemed to enjoy the movie, several time he ran to the TV and held "Mr. Gecko" up and said "Look."
