Over Whelmed......

to say the least.

Most people know that allergies are very common in our household. Brent with his tree nut allergies, Riley with peanut allergies and Campbell with shellfish allergies. These are three items that we have learned to live without. It has become second nature to us.

Until, yesterday.

My MIL and I took the girls to an Allergy Specialist yesterday for some clarification on a few issues. One being Riley's Eczema and another being Campbell's constant sneezing and runny nose. I was fairly confident that the shellfish and peanut allergy would be present during the testing process and possibly pets and a few outdoor irritants.

I was right.

Although, I was completely caught off guard with Riley's allergy results. She is also allergic to eggs and wheat. I did not see that coming. She has never had a reaction to them. Unless her reaction is the Eczema. I took her to a local hospital this morning for blood work to find out more answers. I should have the results by Monday.

Needless to say I am extremely over whelmed with this news.

Thankfully, God never puts anything on us that we can't handle. So, with God's help everything will be fine and life will be back to normal soon.

For now, Riley will eat a lot of meat, veggies, yogurt, and cheese. It could be so much worse.

Can Eczema be a reaction to a food allergy?

Did the allergist give you any more information on her Eczema?

I know you will adapt to all the dietary changes. It is definitely overwhelming and kind of scary at first, but it becomes second nature after a few months.

Like you said...with God's help!
