Update

Well, our day started out pretty well despite another rough night.
Ellie threw up from 1:30 am-5 am......*sigh* I'm sure God has purpose
in all this....there's gotta be. So we made it out the door, dropped her off
at Mom and thankfully she was happy and did great all day.

A HUGE thanks to my dad for going with Gabe and I...as I'm not familiar
with Peoria at all. The staff at Dr. Pratt's office was great and Dr. Pratt herself
was very personable and had so much knowledge to share with us.
Right now I'm too tired to say it all, but the basics is this:

Gabe had part of the skin tests today and reacted the worst to dairy which we
already knew. We did find out today, that for his age, his numbers are considered
deathly. Meaning: he couldn't have scored much higher.

She wants to switch him to rice milk instead of soy and see if this helps.
We are going to switch Ellie as well. Hopefully they like it!

When we got home, he went down for a late nap and when he woke up he
was completed congested. The longer he was awake, the worse it got.
He started sneezing, coughing, labored breathing, wheezing, gagging.....
the whole anaphylaxis reaction. (extreme allergic emergency).
Not sure until I talk to the allergist tomorrow if he was reacting to all the tests
he had done or if somehow his lunch at Culver's was cross contaminated.
So, lotsa Benadryl AND sadly......the Epipen.....AND a nebulizer treatment later.....
he is sleeping peacefully and we haven't heard coughing or sneezing for an hour.

We are headed to bed and hoping for a restful night for both kids.
Thank you for all your prayers. Some days are really hard and it's easy
to start doubting that the kids will ever be healed of whatever is going on.
So thank you for covering us in prayer. We prayed over both kids again tonite
and Jason has been really been an amazing support for me in that his belief
has stayed strong. And every time I hear him pray the words,
"God, we believe that You are healing them, because Your Word says,
by Your stripes, we are healed...." it gives my heart another boost and
the doubt is pushed away.

And Chelsey....we just want you to know that we are praying for you too.
That the doctors would have wisdom to know what has been making you
sick for 2 mths too. That you would literally just feel Jesus holding you close
thru this season of life. We love you so much!!!!
