The road to recovery

This has been a really great Summer. A lot of very great visits from dear friends, a little travel and a lot of time spent by the pool. Cruz absolutely loves to swim. We spend endless hours in the pool this summer. Sad now that the outdoor ones are closed for the season - but we'll have to head up to TCC now for swimming.

Cruz is still terrified to bathe so the pool eases his stresses over water and allows us to relax in what he thinks is a good time and releives me as a big bath. I rinse him clean of pool water after we get out.

A few weeks ago we went to see his Immunologist and Allergist in Kelowna and sat there and went over everything you always have to. The doctor has now referedus to National Jewish Health in Denver, Colorado. http://www.nationaljewish.org/healthinfo/ they have an entire eczema program for kids. I know a few Mom's from the groups over facebook that have been there and they marvel over the hospital and the staff. I am happy but also very anxioius.

This is a big trip to go on with a food allergic child, one with life threatening allergies. And also with my very chronicly ill Mother - who is lovely but very, very neurotic. I sometimes wonder who i'll want to kill first my son or my Mom...jokes but I'm sure some of you know how family can be and well That's My Mom!

The Hospital called yesterday to do a health history of Cruz and it's crazy to go back over all this little babe of mine has been through. I always want to know reasons and truths and to me there is no reason why a little boy has to endure this. Any kids for that matter. In a world of disease and everything else it's insane to look outside of my box because this is something we deal with daily and all I can ever wish for is a cure. A cure for eczema, food allergies and asthma. But firstly eczema.

I am bad for updating my blog but I'm going to try more often!

As of now there is no set appointment but I have to wait for passport stuff and to find out if our medical is covered down in the States for his visit.

Here is a fun pic of Cruz swimming....
