Jacob and his allergies

We apologize for the delay in getting this information out to you all. We do have several small children! In regards to Jacobs allergies. We are awaiting an appointment with a GI specialist to see if he has any bacteria or lesions or anything in his intestines or bowels that would be causing the horrible rashes. This is what his Peditricain feels is the next right move, after his rash's have stumped the entire dermatology department at the hospital. We do believe that the rash is not a symptom of his food allergies, which we continue to learn about. We have also stopped tub baths for the boys and are doing showers ( to help his skin in that it is not submerged in dirty water ) Luckily, both boys are at the right age and are having a blast in the shower. We also changed shampoo - again! We will continue to keep you all up to date on this front. Seen in the little clip ( above ) that I got of the little guy today, Jacob is still his happy little self despite all of this! ( He goes back to the renal dr soon so there is a dreaded VCUG in this little guys future.. )
