Update on my sick kids

So these past couple of weeks has been really busy for me!!! So sorry that I haven't updated before now, but just in case you were wondering about my sick kids and how they are doing here is an update.

We will start with Gage. On May 15th we took Gage to the Asthma and allergy doctor. I was really nervous for Gage, not knowing what they were going to do, but he did great. They tested him for the most common allergy's and we found out that Gage is DEATHLY allergic to nuts! I thought he was allergic before, but not Deathly! He has already had two bad reactions to peanuts and the doctor informed me that the third bad reaction is death!!! So we now have an epi pen for him and he is not allowed to eat anything with any nuts in it! He can't even eat it if the food was processed in a facility that produces foods that has nuts in it, or if the food is cooked in peanut oil!! It's been a challenge asking everywhere what they cook their food in, and reading every label, but boy is it worth it!!!
We also found out that he is allergic to soy, which by the way is in every processed food!! I'm not going to worry too much about this allergy because it seems that it just makes his eczema worse. (And we have cream for the eczema!!) He is also allergic to grass, cats, and dogs!! Those three things affect his asthma, so we just have to give him Zyrtec before he comes in contact with those things.
The doctor also said that his asthma is bad and needs to be under better control. So he is now on a daily medicine for his asthma. So far it seems to be doing a good job at keeping his asthma under control!

Now for MyKelle. Last week Mykelle had a Urinary Tract infection. (just got the results from the lab) We went to the doctors on Sunday, and MyKelle was really nervous because everyone had told her that she was going to have to pee in a cup, and she wanted to pee in the toilet!! When we got to the doctors, the nurse told her if she peed in a cup she would get extra suckers, that made her really excited! She did a great job and went right away! ( I know too much info-sorry) We have to go back next week to have her pee in a cup again to make sure that the infection is gone. So I'm hoping that it will be that easy again!! When the doctor looked at the result from the test that they ran in the hospital she said that it appears this wasn't the first infection! I feel so bad! I had no clue that she has been having these problems before! Poor girl!
She is doing a lot better now. She says that now she is peeing "nice and smooth!" She is such a cute girl!

They are both doing great today! And are not currently sick. (knock on wood!!)
