VICTORY! defeat. VICTORY! defeat.

thanks to our angel friends and our new floors and our neocate, our little grayson is doing sooooooooooooooo good at night. he wakes up now an average of 1 to 2 times per night, but really its mostly been only once the last couple weeks. this morning he slept til 7:15 waking up only at 11 and 5 but quickly going back down with paci in tow. so that is a total praise. it has really helped kenny and i's mental state in the morning, which needs all the help it can get right now! so again, i say thank you. thank you. thank you.

i had mentioned in a previous ranting post that grayson would soon have more bloodwork done. but it seemed to me that our doctors weren't really sure what to test him for. maybe just some of the stuff he'd already been tested for to see if the allergy increased or decreased and maybe some more stuff he had been eating. i told our dr the foods i was concerned about, and then i wanted to recheck some stuff. it kinda seemed that he maybe thought we would just do it for my peace of mind, he wasn't expecting anything interesting to come back. he called yesterday, in his deep voice, which indicates that something's not right. and he says, "well, i have some results back, but not all of them.." and he begins to dictate as i write.."carrots - class 2. milk- class 4. egg whites- class 5. avocados- class 3. summer squash- class 2. and are you ready for this? wheat- class 5." are you KIDDING. i don't even know what else we had tested him for! but how is it that everything i just guessed at came back positive? all i give him for veggies at this point is green beans and sweet potatoes, which i am now completely fearful of. he tested negative for carrots, avocados and squash at 5 months old, and BARELY allergic to wheat at 5 months old. but class 5 is like a really bad allergy. i think class 6 is the worst. so, to me, that means that there are tons more foods he could be allergic to. there's no way i just randomly picked six that were positive. MAN. and i just made and froze tons of green beans for him. do i stop giving them to him? i asked my dr about doing more bloodwork. i know it sucks for grayson to get stuck all the time. but i think it would suck more to suffer from an allergy i didn't know he had. i don't know. waiting for dr to call back with the rest of the results. hopefully soon, but like i said, i can't even remember what else it was that they were testing him for. OH. celiac's disease came back negative, so that's GOOD good good. ok, i'm done for now. pray that i will have wisdom in feeding him, i'm at a loss. i feel like all i can give him is neocate. everything is an unknown right now.
