That has got to be extra tough. I agree with the loving them even more with their extra issues. I was telling Keith the other day that if I just had to give up milk for myself I probably wouldn't be as strict with it compared to having to give it up because of my baby. Hope to talk or see you soon!Contranaut Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02773343233006374719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4294483679868452040.post-65917550330452862272012-05-27T23:28:51.497-04:002012-05-27T23:28:51.497-04:00Hey Kiera, I'll be your empathy.

It's not just because it's a potentially life-threatening reaction (thank God we've seen nothing close to that with him - just hives). It's mostly because eating is something that most Americans do without thinking. I have to check the label on everything I buy. He can't eat homemade things at get togethers or church potlucks. Cookies are especially dangerous. Eating out is kind of a nuisance because we always have to ask. A few months ago, we realized he also has a wheat allergy that had been giving him eczema. Wheat is in everything. Everything. I've just given up on eating out. Eating - something that most people hardly have to think about - now consumes so much thought and energy. People without allergies have no idea how much energy it takes. We are getting into a rhythm now and it's not as hard as it used to be, but it's still hard. But I love Josiah even more now I think, and I think it's making me a more sensitive person. You can always call me for a listening ear.
