Pizza for Nathan

I have tried allergy free pizza with Nathan a couple of times but he wouldn't really touch it. Mostly frozen and already prepared. Today, I took his bread, toasted it, put pizza sauce and then used a Vegan mozzarella cheese, a slice of pepperoni and broiled it so the cheese melted. He really did like it!! He gets so excited about pizza and has always seen us eating it so I am happy that we have a pizza for him.

Allergy Appointment

We had a follow-up appointment with the Allergist today. Our appointment was at 3:00 and it was about 3:45 before she finally came in to see us. So it didn't start out right. She went over Nathan's blood test and told us he dairy, wheat and nuts went down, but his eggs went up. She said his wheat is the lowest and we told her that he accidently had wheat and seemed ok so she suggested we do a "wheat challenge" at her office at the end of the month.

For some reason I just don't feel like he will pass this one, we will find out soon.

No Reaction....

I came home from running errands and my husbands tells me what Nathan ate and he says he ate some French Twist, two of them. I said "I didn't buy Nathan any French Twists". Those were for us.

The package states:
No Dairy
No Eggs
No Butter
No Trans Fat
No Yeast
No Cholesterol
Low Sodium & Low Fat

I think he saw the no dairy and no eggs and thought they were for Nathan, well they had Wheat. But Nathan never had a reaction and even days later we never saw any kind of reaction.
The first ingredient is High Protein Wheat Flour.

Nathan's Weight Check Appointment

Tonight we had an appointment at the Dr. office to check Nathan's weight to see if he is growing. He gained less than a pound since July. But he gained something and grew in height so that is good, I guess.

Weigh: 23lbs.
Height: 34 and 3/4
He is now 2.5 years old.

Food Allergy Support Group

We had our food allergy support group tonight and the turnout was great. I would love to grow our group even more. We all shared some great ideas and food tips, very informative.

Happy New Year...2009

We want to wish everyone a Happy and Healthy New Year!!!

Love, Steve, Jeanette and Nathan!!
