Jacob and his allergies

As most of you know, Jacob has many food allergies, including Egg, Wheat and Soy. Go look in your kitchen, that probably eliminates 90 % of your food. We eat LOTS of fresh and organic foods around here! This child is the one that will stand in front of the refrigerator and talk to the food - I mean it! It's so funny! He loves to eat!

In additionto the food allergies, he also suffers from excema ( which can be so severe his skin bleeds ) and we finally had a long awaited appointment today with the dermatologist and are awaiting lab cultures. We have had to change his bath soap ( some soap actually has soy in it!! ) and are anxious to find out what else we can do to help this little guy.

Jacob is so amazing.. even with all of this and his kidney disease he remains one of those rare people who is almost always happy and just goes about being OK with wherever he is... he is our "Pea".

I will update this as the news develops. We will see the Dermatologist again in a month. Pending lab test results.
