Allergy Update


So we took Tyson to the allergist today and they said he was highly allergic to peanuts and moderately allergic to chocolate, oranges and fireants. No peanuts or chocolate?!? What a life! The good part is not having chocolate in the house might help me lose weight...oh wait, that might not be happening anytime soon! We also came home with two epi pens, so I'm feeling safer already! I'm so grateful for modern medicine!!

what is an epi pen?

is the fire ant part a joke?

Eish you are so funny! The fire ant part is not a joke! We had him tested separately since I've had bad reactions to them. Also, an epi pen is full of epinephrine and you give it to someone when their airways are closing up. It gives them an extra 15 minutes to get to the emergency room :) Sorry I missed your call the other night! I love you!!

Shannon, it's so sad that Tyson is allergic to chocolate! Poor little guy :( I'm also sorry to hear about your trip. I just want to tell you that I LOVE YOU and that you've been a great example to me ever since we took our first Econ class together. Do you still remember professor... what's his face? You know, that old guy who took out his hot pink razor cell phone in the middle of a lecture?

Shannon! I can't believe how much like a little boy Tyson looks!! He has grown so much! Bummer about the allergies. Also, congrats on the pregnancy!! So exciting. It's been so much fun to say "the boyS" and "our children"! Umm, to answer your question, I didn't run a race but we (my mom and I) walked a fun walk while Jordon did a 5k with the boys. We didn't even have numbers for our walk and it was only a half mile. I promise I'm not that crazy! Miss you lots and hopefully we will see you guys sometime soon!
