Achooooooo......

Well, it's been a crazy week around the Braniff house. Ryan had Swine Flu. Praise God we didn't get it. I panicked and got tested, but it turns out that I only have a sinus infection and bronchitis. Yeah !!! Never thought I would be excited about that. Rob is totally well. He never gets sick. Thank God for that too because he is the biggest baby when he's sick. Sorry honey, but you know that's true : ) And Izzy, well, Izzy is such a trooper. She has another ear infection and a sinus infection and you would never know it. She is always sick and never complains about it. The good news is we've finally gotten to the bottom of why she's been so sick. The poor child is allergic to everything. Just about. Eggs, milk, chocolate, peanuts, trees, grass, mold, dust, dogs, cats to name a few. Her allergist is awesome and he's been so patient with me. This allergy stuff is new to me. My other kids only had seasonal allergies. So my girl starts Immunotherapy on Tuesday. Once a week for nine months and then they go to two weeks, three weeks and so on for two to three years. O Lordy that's a long time. And she's allergic to so many things that they can't fit everything into one shot so she has to have two shots every week. My poor baby. At least it's a step in the right direction : ) So keep us in your prayers. Izzy is scared to death of shots. She was traumatized when she came home from China when we had to "catch up" her immunizations. So, two shots once a week for nine months is going to be rough.
