New Triple Threat in Town


So today we discovered that Parker is allergic to not one, but three major and very common food items – peanuts, milk, and eggs. Well, the egg is still to be confirmed with more testing, but if that falls through, there was some hint of a wheat allergy that could pick up the slack to make sure he remains a triple threat. We apologize in advance to all our family and friends for having to hear from now on “what’s in that?” EVERY time we eat or even snack together. Wish us luck in trying to make sure our little man doesn’t accidentally eat the wrong thing and swell up like a red bumpy balloon with a throat swollen shut.

Bummer, at least you've already been trained on how to use an eppie (I can't spell) from Maddie. I totally forgot to ask you about the little guy yesterday and was meaning to call you today about it. I'll try you later on. And, you know I won't mind you asking what's in everything. Oh, and remember...honeynut cherios have nuts in them! Just a little inside laugh for you.

Way to go Sara, you are an over-achiever. Not one but THREE!!! Now you get to read the fine print that "this product was processed on equipment that processed peanuts" etc.
