Fun Food For Kid Party
Mar0
Aaron had his food allergies reevaluated a few weeks ago. I waited and waited to get his blood test results of the RAST testing. It was disheartening. The good news is his egg allergy dropped from highly allergic to moderately allergic and he is still highly allergic to peanuts but the allergy is not worse. Now for the bad news. His pork allergy went from moderately allergic to extremely allergic, the beef was worse but went from high to higher, and milk is also worse. Every year when the news is bad it brings on the mourning of normalcy. I am very worried about the pork allergy because the numbers are so high I am afraid he may become anaphlatic if exposed. Aaron reacts anaphlactically with peanuts already and almost died the day I started blogging. The numbers rising so dramatically with the pork allergy has me worried and I need to make an appointment with the allergists about what all this means for him.
Also for the first time kids made fun of him for his allergies. He cried, I cried, and Ryan tried to protect him. We were at a neighbor’s house having dinner. Of course, I brought dinner for Aaron. While all the other kids ate pizza he ate the “safe” dinner I brought for him. The other kids started with the what is wrong with you that you can’t have pizza. Which turned to nah nah you can’t have pizza. I came into the room with Ryan screaming, you jerks pizza can kill him, leave him alone. The making fun of him for his differences starts here. I was so proud of Ryan for sticking up for Aaron but sad for the struggle of being the different kid, the allergic kid who can’t be part of the school pizza party has me in tears all over again. They once told me he would be done with his allergies by the time he is four. With numbers like his I am worried this is going to be for a lifetime.
