We have had one sick little guy on our hands... Gabe has had a cough since Sept. and the journey has been long. Last week I had him checked to make sure his double ear infection had cleared up, and it hadn't so we started round 2 of antibiotics. I talked to our Dr. about Gabe's skin and she said he has mild eczema. He also has asthma and possibly some allergies. We got an inhaler for his asthma and she said to go dairy-free and see if that makes a difference in his health and skin too. It has been exhausting, but I'm hoping we'll get into a good rhythm soon.
So, here is my sweet boy on day 8 of no dairy eating a grilled, vegan cheese sandwich. He licked his fingers clean! Vanilla soy yogurt was also a hit this morning, along with oatmeal made with almond milk. On Monday, he had his 15 month check up and the Dr. said one ear was still mildly infected, but that his wheezing was at least 50% better. So, the journey continues to getting him well.
p.s. he doesn't really let on that he doesn't feel well. He's very good natured.
Come to me non-dairy cheese!
During the same meal, Olivia scarfed down sushi. I love that my kids embrace different things!
Tired but happy boy.
