Thank you again to Pastor Kim for making time go by faster here at our hotel ;)

We are so blessed that God led us to your church.

Another one of the many snoozes.....

So Dr. Hatch came by today to give us more results from the allergy testing.

He tested some allergic to egg whites, nuts and fish. VERY allergic to environmental things

and dust mites.

So he suggests we definatley rip out the carpet in his bedroom (just like the one ER doc said),

encasing the mattress (maybe get a water bed), get our air ducts cleaned, get air cleaners, yada,

yada. Everything we had already been contemplating, just never got accomplished since

he got admitted down here.

The next step is probably going to an allergy specialist to see if this is really what is causing

all these flare ups. Then actually doing the skin prick allergy test (which I was really hoping we wouldn't have to). We'll see what allergist says about that.

If I'm understanding correctly what they are thinking is this:

His body has been trying to fight this off for a good 6 mths- year with everything he

has been ingesting that he is allergic to and it's finally coming to a severe head because:

his body isn't producing enough of something ( i forget the medical term) to help absorb

fat or break down the food. So his digestive system is really, really irritated and messed

up from this long term ingesting and is just saying, I've had enough...change my diet.

Today has been a very quiet day for Gabe. He still hasn't really perked up alot. Has asked

to go on a walk many times but doesn't have the energy to walk or hold his head up so we just

end up walking the halls and carrying him for a change of scenery. He hasn't had an appetite yet

but we finally got him to drink some soy milk. 1/2 hour later he complained of his tummy hurting, got real rigid and had smelly gas. He did test positive allergy to soy but the numbers

weren't high enough for him to think he was actually sensitive to it. I guess I will actually have

to watch the soy milk now too. They want him to get some milk of some kind......

Hope you all have a warm night.....sleep tight....Blessings and Hugs....Laura
