Updates!

Well it's been a while. Things have been SO busy. I have not had a whole lot of time to get on and do anything. For an update on the allergy situation, I went to the allergist and they found out a lot actually. I am not allergic to any foods however I am allergic to ANYTHING that stings pretty much. I am going to have to have allergy shots for the next 5 years and if you know me, you know that is no small thing for me. On top of that I have to carry an Epi-pen around with me EVERYWHERE I go in case I get stung. That's the insect allergy. Then they found out that I am allergic to MYSELF...yeah I know I laughed too. I had no clue there was any such thing. It's caused by an auto-immune disease. I have to take antihistimines 2x's per day to stop the hives and lip swelling. They are going to do blood work to find out what auto-immune disease it is. They said there are several of them. It's not as bad as it sounds. We have laughed about it more than anything. The end verdict is I will live and I will be OK.

The 50th anniversary was incredible. Everything went GREAT!!! It was beautiful. There were a few glitches the night before but aren't there always. I will try to post some pics if I get a chance. If not, there are some on my facebook and myspace pages.

Connor is pretty sick. He was in Memphis with Momma over the weekend and they weren't supposed to come home until today but they had to come home last night b/c his fever went up to 102.8. We had to take him to the dr today. They tested him for strep and the flu (both of which were neg.) then did a chest xray to rule out pneumonia. The xray was clear but he does have a pretty bad upper respiratory infection and bronchitis. He got a shot which made him EXTREMELY MAD!!! His fever is still up though it just won't go down. He should be better tomorrow though...at least I hope so.

Well gotta go for now but I will be back soon...have a great night!!!

  2. It seems that all of that was just part of the auto-immune disease. They tested me for nuts, seafood, and about 70-75 other foods and I was not allergic to ANY of them!! They are going to be running some blood tests to find out what exact auto-immune disease I have.
