Spring...

is here?? Probably not; but we'll grab it while we can!!  The other day, it was nice like it was today (yesterday it rained?!) and Little man could not wait to get outside!! He literally said "who-hoo....yee-haw" and hit the ground running!  There was still a good amount of snow coverage the other day though so he was cautious to walk on the snow but today he got a little more brave about it and was sloshing all over..."feet....brrr....".   And of course, with every spring brings mud....and with 4 boys....well, FPIES and Mudpies....I am brought back full circle to the inspiration for this blog (has it really been a year?)

Today, he played a little better, whined a little less, ate a little better, napped a lot better....the bifida strain seems to be going really well and my instincts to start it seemed to have filled in that hole (just disrupted with that poorly timed virus at the same time his immune system was receiving the new strains for the first time). 

We still didn't get test results from the PCRCD yet.  We are hoping to have them by Friday as Dr.J is going to be out of town next week for the Allergy Conference in California (they will talk about FPIES!).  

Other good news is that we are going to be seeing an Immunologist here at the clinic, and thanks to another FPIES mom who has already visited there- it sounds promising!!  Another doctor here that will help us with our puzzle, and is interested in learning and helping other kids here.   So much progress we've made in a year, sometimes it is good to sit back and remind myself of that.
