Can't live without list....

1. Burt's Bee's Tear Free Shampoo and Wash- is one of the only Formaldehyde free children's soaps I can find that actually suds. I love it!
2. Similasan Homepathic Cough Syrup- for my 2 yr. old really works and I trust their products.

Anaphylaxis

I thought this article had some interesting information about using an Epi Pen. We've only had to do this once and I REALLY don't want to do it again. My greatest fear about this is, I won't use it when we should've or soon enough and it will lead to disaster. I guess I need to clarify with his allergist. Fisher gets welts often from food and this article leads me to believe that the Epi Pen should be administered if this happens. Hmmmmm.... Anyone out there have experiences they would like to share?

Still learning...


Giant Chewy Sweet Tarts have egg in them. Fisher had his first GI reaction to egg from just one bite. In the same weekend, we've decided we will no longer eat at Mexican Restaurants. We had a very knowledgeable restaurant manager, wiped down the high chair and table and Fisher still left the restaurant covered in hives. It was like a cheese landmine. It's just too risky. All the precautions we took kept him from ingesting an allergen, but it just wasn't enough to prevent exposure entirely.
