Easter "Eggs!"

Happy Easter. I am so thankful for Easter and the hope that it gives us. If I didn't have the hope of God and the fact that He is the "Great Physician" for my family, I think I would have put my kids in a bubble years ago and fed them rice and water ONLY. God has been so faithful to us on this journey with food allergies and NAET and utlimately I trust Him for healing above anything else.
I updated the pictures on the side of the blog .....my little babies are GROWING so big and so well. Jackson is in the 95% for his weight and he is almost "as tall as Daddy"....(well, not really, but he thinks so!)
I realized today in the season of lots of "eggs"..that Jackson is still not clear for raw eggs. They both do fine with things that have egg baked into them, but we will have to do NAET for egg again with Jackson. The kids were eating some carrots with ranch dressing and Jackson got rashy and a few hives and itchy.....he's had other brands of ranch, but this one had a lot of egg ingredients....Presley did fine which makes me happy since she had RAST tested positive for egg and had a reaction to macaroni salad...so I think her NAET treatment for egg worked the first time. She is a big fan of all ranch dressings in town!

I was also worried and avoiding dyeing Easter eggs and didn't even bring it up to the kids this year....but got my answer when I picked them up from preschool and they both had a basket of dyed eggs that were hard boiled and oh so lovely....they didn't react to that activity (thank goodness) and I'm glad I didn't know about it :) SO, we dyed some more today with my sister and niece (YES, even after he reacted to the dressing today, I was still in the mood for egg dyeing activities). I've learned to worry less and try to pray more and be thankful for the little itchy reactions.....vs. the scary anaphylatic ones.

My health is improving, thank the Lord, so we will continue on the NAET journey later this month.

Thanks for sharing your stories with me, they encourage me so very, very much. God bless you and your families this Easter. There is hope, His name is Jesus.
