It feels like yesterday that I made the same discovery with my Lucy...she was so proud! Don't worry too much about her banging her head. She will do it many, many times now that she is pulling up. Just babyproof for sharp corners and don't worry about the rest!<BR/>I owe you an e-mail and will try to get it together to write one soon!<BR/>SaraSarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07931236713751006464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29488101.post-73227654157590294292007-03-20T17:59:00.000-07:002007-03-20T17:59:00.000-07:00I'm glad that she's feeling better.

The thing is, a mild ...Allergies are a funny thing. The thing is, a mild allergy can really run a kid down trying to deal with it day in and day out. Maybe that's why she's getting so many colds (aside from the obvious: being in a new country with all new germs). Maybe her little body is so tired from trying to cope with an allergen that she is easily susceptible to germs that ordinarily she would fight off? I had a kid who was litearlly sick with a cold for 2.5 years straight until I put him on allergy meds and he has almost literally never had even a cold since (and that was 7 years ago!). The crazy thing is that he only needed the allergy meds for a short period of time - 4 months. But it was enough for his body to rebound and rebuild his immune system.<BR/><BR/>It might also be that her mucous is thicker than she can handle which could be related to an allergy, too. When my allergy kids get sick, they frequently have more mucous in general and a harder time coping with it. <BR/><BR/>So my long answer is that, yes, depending on the allergy and the kid, symptoms can "seem" to come and go. There is probably a symptom present all the time but other symptoms can come and go when her immune system is stronger or weaker. <BR/><BR/>Here's another thing I wanted to say....trust your gut. I had an inkling that Addison had allergies to something and not just "adjustment time" when we got to the States. And now that we've moved down here, she is a totally different kid. Her skin has cleared up, her nose which was always dry and boggery, is almost entirely "normal" now. Sometimes you just don't know how a kid is affected until you get rid of the allergen. <BR/><BR/>Does your doctor have an issue with you doing a trial off the soy? It couldn't hurt right?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29488101.post-72307921548338427172007-03-20T12:36:00.000-07:002007-03-20T12:36:00.000-07:00Glad Lucy is feeling better!

I ...Hi Kelly, this is Teresa at Robstown Hardware. I have been following you on line and thru Andy. I love your pictures, you have a beautiful little girl. You are so very blessed.<BR/>My son was getting sick a whole lot when he was little like that and he ended up being diagnosed with Asthma, once I switched pediatricians and we got him on breathing treatments and got him cleared up, our lives started getting a little easier. Does she have alot of stuffed animals in the room, are the dogs in the house, do you have carpet or tile? The weather changing from cold to hot can trigger an attack. It is not like an attack where suddenly he could not breath it sounded more like bronchitis or pneumnia but they x rayed his lungs and said all of that was clear he had asthma.<BR/>They would give him an oral steroid for five days and he would get a breathing treatment every 4 hours.<BR/>If you have any questions please call. I am not saying that is the answer but it is something to consider.<BR/>Teresa BendermanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29488101.post-80072862662164354592007-03-20T11:39:00.000-07:002007-03-20T11:39:00.000-07:00I am so glad that Lucy is ok!!
