Well, in a previous post, I declared I was ready. I genuinely thought I was, I had prepared myself for my son to be completely healed of at least some of his allergies when we had him re-tested last week. Boy, was I not ready for what He had in store...
My son is now allergic to cats. CATS?!? We are the least "cat people" you will ever meet. In fact, I am terrified and have been since childhood. I know, it's weird I just have bad luck with cats. Anyway, yep, allergic to cats, and dogs. So no pets for the family. He is still allergic to peanuts, tree nuts, milk, eggs, soy, and bananas.
Oh yes, I also forgot to mention his counts went up on some foods. Namely eggs and peanuts. The pediatrician said he hasn't seen counts so high (as eggs.) It's as high as it can be. GREAT. JUST GREAT. Lord, I am trying to understand, honestly, but I want more. I need to know that all of this planning and struggling we are doing as a family is worth it all. I know it will keep him safe, but I need to know why. Why my baby gets sick when he is in the same room as a peanut, or why touching an egg can kill him. I'm struggling right now with this, and I know that He has the perfect plan, and that it will be ok. I just have to breathe. Right?!?
