Park City

I've prayed since Wednesday that God would just show me the exact cause of Ebbie's allergy. Like Austin said, "I think He answered in a big way". She didn't test positive to a milk allergy but since since milk is an inflammatory food we have just been trying to avoid it in large doses. After the last test results the plan was to avoid all dairy when we got back to Jackson. So since we're on vacation I let her have a bowl of ice cream at dinner last night. Needless to say....she's been throwing up for the past 9 hours! 

All yesterday she just kept saying "I like to go fast!" So I hate that she can't go out today. Praying she feels better this afternoon! We'll definitely need prayers over the next few months while we avoid all dairy....it's going to be hard!! 

Love y'all!

So...we're finished up and headed home. Dr said her colon looks good. She did biopsies just to be absolutely sure but she didn't see anything. Thankful for this small positive!

The not so great news is that she has new white patches in her esophagus and stomach. (To quote Ebbie "this makes me kind of sad"). Best case is that it's a yeast infection from the steroids she took to clear the eosinophils. If so, she will take an anti-fungal and we'll keep on the diet we're on.

Worst case is the eosinophils are back :(
If that's the case then we'll have to take out those top 6 allergens on top of the foods we've already eliminated. She mentioned the elemental diet and a supplemental diet but I can't think about what's the best thing right now. We just need to take it one day at a time....just wait to see what the biopsy shows and make a decision about diets and whether or not to go to Boston Children's Hospital.

As always we appreciate your prayers. I'm so thankful for Ebbie's kind spirit and bravery!
