My Morganizer

I started an additional blog, called "My Morganizer", to write down smaller vignettes, from my days with Morgan.  Even though her allergies are a big part of our lives, we still spend a lot of time laughing, singing, playing and hugging and snuggling! :)  She amazes me all the time and I'm doing my best to record it all, one way or another.

Allergies, allergies, allergies...

It has been a while since I have posted here.  I think, one of these days, I'll just have to download all my Facebook statuses and compile them as a journal. ;P  Anyway, what brings me here, today, is the latest set of food allergy results for Morgan.  At 18 months, we had her tested and they did the "Childhood Allergy Profile" for her and we found she had allergies to peanuts, milk, eggs, wheat, walnuts, and soy.  A couple of weeks ago (around age 2 1/2) we had some additional tests done for cinnamon, avocado, strawberries, tomatoes, coconut and sesame seeds.  All of them came back positive for allergies, except for cinnamon.  The lab forgot to test for bananas, so we called them and had them add a few more tests to the list.  We added tuna, pineapple, peaches, flax seed, and banana.  All of them came back positive, except for tuna. :O

So, this is now Morgan's known allergen list:

Class 5
Peanuts
Milk
Egg whites

Class 3
Coconut
Sesame seed
Flax seed (Awaiting class confirmation from the lab report...)

Class 2
Wheat
Walnut (therefore, all tree nuts, in my book...)
Soy
Bananas
Avocado
Strawberry
Tomato
Pineapple
Peaches


She also has a Class 4 allergy to cats and a Class 3 allergy to dogs.  So, those are off the menu. ;)  (That's my allergy joke. Har, har!)
