He's Baack

Hey, guess what. Asher's back home! He was hospitalized for Failure to Thrive on Wednesday. He was losing weight and of course his eczema was driving him crazy. The doctors did well. They think he has trouble digesting milk protein and thus was losing weight and it also contributed to his skin issues. So they have him eating a special formula and it's working well. He gained about a pound and a half in the hospital and his skin is looking so much better.
Asher playing in his crib sometime around the middle of his stay. Note his huge hand (an IV line lost its vein) and his 'mega man' like bazooka arm (protecting his new IV access)

Greetings! I went to high school with Tyler & Kendall! I've been praying for Asher and you all and am so glad you've finally figured out what's going on. He looks like a very happy baby! I shared with Kendall that I've been down the same road with my middle son and it gets easier. You'll soon become a natural at figuring out what foods he can or can't have and how to have a semi-normal life with an abundance of food allergies. Good luck! :)
