My gift from the boys......almost!

My gift from my boys was going to be pictures all together. I guess given Cameron's age , we did pretty good. I hope to some day get all of us together looking at the camera.

Just to make sure we didn't miss any of the childhood illnesses........

Collin has croup and double ear infections. Connor and Cameron are getting the first symptoms of it and will most likely have 3 kids all with croup. So, I think I will just print out a big list of the remainder childhood illnesses to be prepared for when it hits us. Before I enrolled Collin in preschool I always said "my kids never get sick" and now I say "If it's out there, my kids will pick it up".

Looks like I will be housebound for a bit!!!

The Hive/Hsp incident in January was Serum Sickness:

Serum is the clear fluid portion of blood. It does not contain blood cells, but it does contain many proteins, including antibodies, which are formed as part of the immune response to protect against infection.Antiserum is a preparation of serum that has been removed from a person or animal that has already developed immunity to a particular microorganism. It contains antibodies against that microorganism.
An injection of antiserum (passive immunization) may be used when a person has been exposed to a potentially dangerous microorganism against which the person has not been immunized. It provides immediate, but temporary, protection while the person develops a personal immune response against the toxin or microorganism. Examples include antiserum for tetanus and rabies exposure.Serum sickness is a hypersensitivity reaction similar to an allergy. The immune system misidentifies a protein in the antiserum as a potentially harmful substance (antigen), and it develops an immune response against the antiserum.
Antibodies bind with the antiserum protein to create larger particles (immune complexes). The immune complexes are deposited in various tissues, causing inflammation and various other symptoms.
Because it takes time for the body to produce antibodies to a new antigen, symptoms do not develop until 7 to 21 days after initial exposure to the antiserum. Patients may develop symptoms in 1 to 3 days if they have previously been exposed to the offending agent.Exposure to certain medications (particularly penicillin) can cause a similar process. Unlike other drug allergies, which occur very soon after receiving the medication for the second (or subsequent) time, serum sickness can develop 7 to 21 days after the first exposure to a medication. Blood products may also induce serum sickness.

So, basically Collin will not be able to have any penicillin's.

He is allergic to Birch and Alder and that is the cause of all the eye issues!

I am happy we finally got some answers.

My favorite pic of the day!

I was thinking.....how funny would it be to post this pic in 20 years. I just love baby hands and feet, don't know many who don't! This pic has it all, it's sooooooo yummy!

It's sooooo cold

Ok, it's April so why are we getting snow! Thursday we go to Issaquah for allergy testing. Yakima was 2 months booked out and still could not get us an appointment. So, off we go! I am scared to tell Collin what he needs to do! I am hoping this will shed some light on all the eye problems he has been having. If anyone wants to meet up with us, let me know! Thursday at 2:30 is the appointment.

Can someone buy me some ear plugs?

So, it seems the volume has been turned up in the Davis houshold. With Cameron and his new pipes and Cooie with his, it's one crazy house. The boys are doing good. Collin is my sweet loving one, Connor is growing up fast and talking very well now. Cameron is rolling all over the place. He can go from room to room if you don't watch. I guess this means "crawling" is in the near future. Hope everyone is doing great and enjoying the spring weather!
