we are so home.

so so home. it's 7:42 in the a.m., grayson is still asleep, aislyn is playing in the backyard on this cloudy yummy day, i'm sippin' coffee and lamenting over the stupid photo ticket that was due while we were in denver and is now late... i totally disagree with the ruling of course. i MUST have had a green arrow, you just can't see it...

i have never been so happy to be home. i feel like NOW i am on vacation! is that so weird or what? my house looked different, smelled different, it was so weird to walk through the door! the kids went to bed so so happily last night, to be in their OWN bed! grayson didn't sleep through the night, he woke up out of habit, but not until around 3! and i THINK that if we had been of sound mind, we should have just left him in there and seen if he would fall back asleep. he was just talking to himself, and i, in a very disoriented state of mind, told kenny that i did not know where i was, and would he get go grayson. and kenny, in the same state, obliged. so maybe tonight will be different. he didn't scratch (unless he's doing it now) and kept his hand socks on all night long which we were told to still try and do for awhile. we're hopeful that his itchy waking days will soon be over.

i do intend to write in detail about all of grayson's "diagnoses" and what foods we can try, what we canNOT try and what it means for his new diet! it's actually, right now, a little MORE stressful because i have to read labels like a HAWK. and i have to read other people's labels like a hawk if we go somewhere! which, might be irritating.. so i apologize in advance. :) ha.

i really really can't thank you all enough for keeping up with our journey and praying for us. i feel a million times better than before we left, we both do. and i want to find a way to get the word out about this place. so if you're reading this, and your kid has eczema and a RIDICULOUSLY high IGE (gray's was almost 9,000 i found out) and tests positive to almost any food via blood and/or skin test.. some of them may not be true allergies and may just be cross reactive to other things. however, don't give your kid the food without medical supervision... i'm just sayin'.. and please, shoot me an email or a comment if you want more info on National Jewish.

there's my plug for NJ. maybe they'll send me a check. or as becky and i talked about, a commission for everyone we send there. ;)

off to start my day. at my house. not in denver. :)
