Epiphany

I have recently had a few or a lot of realizations which too, are an epiphany. One being that I have researched and scoured the internet for years about my son's allergies, eczema, and asthma for years to always turn up empty. Until a recent visit to Cruz's allergist where I seen one of my Obstetrician's from our home town. We travel 2 hours to see his allergist in Kelowna. There we met his family and his ever so knowledgable wife who is a Director with Anaphylaxis Canada. Their daughter now a teenager has suffered from allergies her whole life and was in the office doing a few challenges and of a few she had passed. They sat there and watched as my son clawed at his skin with his ever worsening eczema and remembered when their daughter had it as well. They were a wealth of information. And from then I have been making it my personal battle to find answers, solutions and overall peace with something he has that may go away but that may never go away.

The 3 I mention don't come with a label and tell you how to deal with them, it is more trial and error and we are still learning. I didn't know http://www.anaphylaxis.org/ existed before meeting the family in the allergists office. I didn't hear of the magazine publication http://www.allergicliving.com/. More importantly I had no idea I WASN'T ALONE.

I have always had a heavy heart BUT nothing had ever prepared me for what I had to deal with and how I was going to deal with my son's allergies, eczema and asthma. So I am going to talk about it here, and hopefully I can be of help to someone. I have a lot to share and have the tendancy to ramble and I know these blogs are somewhat neat, punctuated, and serious. Well this is serious, however I am not perfect...so there will be typo's and maybe a few foul words too. Love me or hate me - I don't mind.
