results...

they are negative for an eosinophilic disorder. :) could you hear my cry of joy around 4 pm this afternoon? i had all four kids (mine and my brother's girls) and they just stared at me as i sang "grayson doesn't have it" around the livingroom. i think i might have scared them a bit, but i didn't care. our dr. said that it is pretty definitive at this point, but that if he gets worse or something changes that we will test him again and see what happened. so really at this point, we start trialing brown rice. organic so that it is sure to not have any additives. we are waiting to see another allergist who i've heard nothing but good things about. and i guess he's so good, that he can't see us until september 30th. giant UGH for that one. we are trying to get in earlier but i'm not holding my breath.

we are very relieved about this for sure. we still have a food battle to fight but its not going to be nearly what it would have been. i do have to say, that while i am so excited about this for grayson, it kills me that my new friend jen won't get these results for carter unless the Lord heals him supernaturally, which i do find myself praying for. whats amazing about jen is that i know she will be so excited to hear that grayson doesn't have it, even though her sweet boy does. i really really like that about her.

anyway, its late. but i had to share. thank you all for your prayers, once again. we are truly relieved and ready to move on to the next step of getting grayson back to eating food.

PRAISE GOD!!!!! Sometimes negative results are frustrating because you think, ok, if it's not that, then what the heck is wrong with him? In this case however, that negative is nothing buy joy!!! Did he say anything about what he thought the red spot in his stomach was? I'm so relieved that I can't even imagine how you're feeling. We'll keep praying for Carter too!!! anna

Honestly, Carter and I were just dancing around my parents kitchen! I am so relieved. . . for Grayon, for all of you. I am so excited that you get to start adding foods back in to his diet. My joy is making "new" things out of strange ingredients so, I would love to help you do some cookin'! I can't even express to you how relieved and excited I am. I will call you soon!
