Updates…I know…So, Boring!

Okay…So, first off, my sweet beautiful little boy is doing better! He definitely had hives, but to my surprise the doctor thinks that the hives were because of an allergic reaction to the amoxicillin that he had when we were trying to get rid of his pneumonia.
 It Actually makes sense…Looking back, I was allergic to amoxicillin when I was a kid, as well. I feel a little funny that I didn't think of this before…but to my defense, he has had amoxicillin before when he was five (that's when he had a bout of pneumonia the first time) and had no reaction.

(just a small example of the hives that developed all over him….even his poor little face)

They haven't ruled out the tree nuts just yet…we have to go to an allergist specialist to do testing JUST IN CASE. As for right now, we are helping him with over the counter Anti-histimine and Anti-itch lotion. Thank God, he's feeling better!
It was torturous for me, as a mom, watching my baby suffer…it was pretty bad. Now, we wait for him to heal and get better (the hives can continue to re-occur for weeks-to-months).

Now…update on my colitis….I'm still suffering.
Yeah…its been really, really sucky.
I am in partial denial on how bad it's been…I've been bleeding for almost two weeks. There has been some help with natural remedies, but I need more.
 I have had to wait to buy juicing vegetables because of our tight budget wouldn't allow…but our tax refund has finally come and I can afford the beautiful variety of vegetables that have the power of healing in them. Yay!
So, now that I can juice, I might actually get some relief…I will let you know about that soon too…
