Sea of Green Life

Eloise is smiling at Genevieve's horse gift bag. Really, horse crazy already? Merry Christmas! I hope everyone enjoyed thier day of blessings! Our started out rough with kids waking up all night long, but once we woke up for the day it all went well. Presents at home: We gave them a big present this year together- a snowmobile. GV is ready for it and AnnaBelle will have time to get used to it and she could drive it now. We know kids that started racing at five. Other than that, Genevieve got a horse jewelry box and necklace, AnnaBelle got a homemade monkey blanket, Gid got binoculars with camera attachment, and I got my new coat. Eloise got some cute cloth diaper covers and an ornament. We also switched up our snowmobiles. The kids got the little Arctic Cat and we traded my 500 for a two-up 600. We've been looking at snowmobiles for a while, it just happened that we found everything the week before Christmas. What me and Gid really wanted was for my allergies to go away, and

So I got the food blood tests back and here is what it said: Milk, eggs, corn, peanuts, tree nuts--off limits. I can have them if it is an ingredient and is less than 10% of the product. Cake for example has a small amount of milk in it and would technically be fine. Dr. Sabnis thinks I should be able to cut these things out for 6 months and then try reintroducing them. I have allergy drops for the food now as well as for the environmentals (cat, dog, dust, grass, molds, try to keep up ;). The biggest thing he said (for the third time) was that I should not have a cat. So anyone want a cat on loan for 6 months? The rabbit will also be moving to the garage. Sitting next to him now and typing is giving me a headache and asthma symptoms. The theroy again is that if I can get all my allergies under control, then the car one will follow suit and will get better as well. My system is still being overloaded with things so it is reacting to everything so these other allergies may fade---hopefu

Eloise had her first vacation, her first 10 hour car ride (she did great), her first day shopping, her first whipped cream, and several more, but we didn't have the camera. It went into the truck--and disappeared. Sara's appointment went ok. No amazing, do this and you'll be cured. They did give me the allergy drops and he said I should see improvement within 6 months. His theroy is that since I am allergic to everything, my body's system is raw and reacting to everything, including something in the car/garage like metal, fumes, plastic, ect. I haven't heard about the food tests yet, they will take another week. I feel frustrated that they didn't try to find new allergies, just went off the old ones. I believe the thinking is that there are a few major players and once those are controlled, the rest will fade away. Anyway, there is an update, I have 7 more days in the semester and an amazing amount of work to do. Chao.
