Taylor Update

We went to the allergist on Monday. He started food experimentations with Taylor. Our first challenge is chicken. We've tried chicken before but we're starting out even slower then last time. She gets 1 tsp, 3 times a day for the first week...then 2 tsp the 2nd week and so on. At the end of four weeks, she will have worked up to 1 full serving. Next month we will try soy and the third month, turkey. If we see any negative reaction, she will need to come off the trial food for about four days and then we will start again. Progress is being made! Three days into it and she's doing well so far!

Her ENT surgery has also been scheduled. She will go in on May 15th at 5:30a with surgery at 7:30a. Will take about 1 1/2 hours from start to finish. She will be in the hospital for 24 hours and if no complications arise, she will get to go home.

That's great news, I hope all goes well with the food trial. I'll keep my fingers crossed. I feel terrible about her upcoming surgery but hopefully it will put an end to the infections and sore throats. Poor baby!! I need to make a Toys R Us run :)
