our little trooper

i took grayson to get bloodwork done yesterday and MAN was he brave! his veins weren't working so hot, so they had to poke his little arm THREE times to get enough blood. it was heartwrenching to watch. lyss met me there to make faces at him and distract him which totally worked. he cried just a bit when he was tired of them trying to get the SEVEN tubes, but never when he was poked. he had a FIT though, after it was over and we were wondering why he was crying so hard, and then realized that the tech had forgotten to untie that rubber thing they put around your arm until you lose circulation. poor thing, his hand was PURPLE. but he did so good. i really wanted to go get him ice cream, but yeah. not gonna happen. anyways, we tested him for 13 more foods and we are praying that at least ONE thing will come back negative. just at lease ONE!! i really want to know that he has a safe food because i'm throwing caution to the wind every time i feed him right now. he's in the middle of a flare up, and i don't know if its the quinoa, apples or the new cream i'm putting on him. of COURSE i would start three new things at the same time. i am so not good at this. i can feel your prayers, i think i'm having a better day mentally today, but the day's not over yet. kenny worked from home this morning and sometimes just having him HERE even though he is in work mode and not doing anything with the kids, helps a ton. i don't know why. and that obviously won't happen very often. anyway, please please if you read this post, say a quick prayer that grayson will have a safe food when we get the results back. thanks :)
