Crazy Time!!

Well,

The Casey household has been on a pretty big rollercoaster that we haven't fully gotten off of yet.

Aine started to get spots, tummy issues, headaches, and some other symptoms.  We couldn't figure out what was happening to her, so we continued to monitor and watch for anything big or small.

Well.....  Saturday she decided that she would show up home after Team practice covered in hives and red marks.  This continued through the night and got worse in spurts throughout Sun.

I ended up taking her to the ER to find out she was having an allergic reaction to something.  They gave her some Benadryl and once we knew she was stable - brought her and an epipen prescription home.   Her next feed would make the spots rear their ugly faces again.  This time I was prepared with Benadryl and the knowledge to know what was going on.

Aine and I spent Monday verifying that she wasn't getting the itchies from any of her meds, spent countless hours talking to people on the phone, and at the house.

Right now, we are figuring that she has developed an allergy  to Soy, so she has been placed on a hypoallergenic food to see if she can tolerate it.

We are wishing, praying, hoping, and begging that it works because we want her to be able to continue to "eat".

So far it is going good, but she has only had one feeding and is tired (she was living on pedialite for almost two days)

We need to continue to closely monitor her for any additional issues.

Here's hoping and praying that this new food will work and she can remain on it without Any problems.
