results

For those of you who don’t follow me on facebook or twitter you haven’t heard the results of Finley’s allergy test.  We got the results in on Monday and I’ve been a bit overwhelmed ever since.  He is allergic to dog, mould, dust mites, wheat, soy, milk, egg and peanuts.  His peanut allergy is a class 4 (class 5 is the most severe) which means we’ve had to get an EpiPen for him.  It’s kinda scary to think that if my child merely breathes in a peanut product I may have to “stick” him to save him.  I am so thankful though that we haven’t had a life threatening situation yet.  We’re doing an overhaul on our family diet (Layla’s not handling the lack of animal crackers too well) which will now consist of meat, fruits and vegetables.  There are some delicious products made by Enjoy Life Foods and all their products are free from the top 8 food allergies.  The only problem with these is the tantrum that follows when mommy says “that’s all for now.”  We’ve also had to get new soap, lotion, shampoo, and chapstick. I am looking for a safe laundry detergent so if anyone knows of one or has a “recipe” for a homemade one please let me know.
