Its ok to be scared but its also ok to live in the moment
The past couple of weeks have been so busy…. Matthew had his second round of allergy testing… it came back with no environmental allergies. This is good news but also not so good news, the good news he doesn’t have to take allergy meds anymore! (YAY) the not so good news with Matthew having no environmental allergies it means that the coughing fits he has been having are pretty much asthma attacks. They do not want to label him with Asthma because it will make things rough on him when he starts school, so for now we just use the nebulizer. Matthew has been on his medication to make him hungry for a while now and he does seem to eat more when he is on it but come the weekend when he is off we fight to get him to eat. I am hoping that with therapy this will get better! He goes to therapy once a week for now. They are looking to transfer us to the center closer to the house so I don’t have to drive the half hour to get to the one he goes to now. I am still scared for D day (june 8th) but I know that all I can do is keep on trucking and do the best I can. I will cross that bridge when that day comes but for now I enjoy the time we have right now and try to get Matthew to eat
I also did my allergy testing and found out that I have no food allergies now! (YAY HELLO COCONUT AND CRAB) the doctor said that over time you can build immunity to what you once were allergic to. With my environmental allergy test I lit up like a Christmas tree lol, so now I go in twice a week to get allergy shots for 6 weeks. After 6 weeks we will re test and see how I react. If I still react then I have to do another 6 weeks of allergy shot therapy. I am hoping that I don’t have to keep repeating the shots till I stop reacting. I just finished week one so 5 more to go. I also found out this week that I have to go see an Orthopedic Specialist. The doctor says that I have scoliosis now, that’s why my hips are offset and why my back hurts all the time. There were talks of surgery and braces and I’ll be honest I am scared. I want to talk to the specialist about doing inversion therapy. Hopefully that will be an option. I got the call this morning from the specialist office my appt will be Thursday at 3pm. Look for an update after that.
I can’t believe soon Bradley will be in kindergarten. This year has gone by so quick. Just the other night he was sitting at the dinner table trying to teach Matthew how to count. He is growing so fast and being such a great big brother to Matthew. He is really doing good trying to get Matthew to eat. He has been having more night terrors lately but we expect that this time of year. All I can do is tell him that he is safe and try my best to help him through this.
