Climbing Everest

Brooklyn had her GI appointment today and she has gained 2 pounds in three weeks!!! YaY! It is an amazing transformation on her tiny little frame. She still is not on her weight charts yet- but is at least closer now. Her doctor said it is like we are trying to get to the top of Mt. Everest and although we have a long way to go- we are at least at Base Camp now. I love the way he always has an analogy to explain things so I can understand them so much better. She has had a hard time with any food so far- we have tried one at a time and haven't found anything that doesn't "hurt" yet- and even had one very scary experience with chicken- yep just plain 'ol chicken. The doctor said her Eosinophils were actually higher than they were last year depsite treatment so he is pulling her off all food for three months and then we can start food trials again. But who knew that NOT eating could be SOO healthy for her!!


I need to post a good "before and After" photo of her. her eyes are brighter and her face looks healthier and her "outey" belly button is becoming an "inney" as she gains weight!
We also took Tanner off of Dairy as it has been making him sick- the plus side to that is - He doesn't have fluid in his ears anymore so (at least for now) He doesn't need any ear tubes!!! WHoo Hoo! Things are looking good here! Thank YOu everyone for your prayers!
