almost 20 months old
We've fallen way behind on postings for this blog. Mea culpa.
Sam got a 9-1-1 call a few weeks ago from our daycare provider. He grabbed the wrong cup and ended up with real milk instead of his soy-based formula. He ended up coughing for a while before emptying his stomach contents on the living room carpet at daycare. She had already called 9-1-1 right before that happened, but then cleaned up his face and chest with the milk-contaminated shirt he had vomited on. This caused localized skin reaction in those areas. The local rescue squad was in the driveway when I showed up to pick him up at 4:50 pm. He was inside being a good boy, sitting with a tiny little blood pressure cuff on his arm. He had no breathing problems and was treated with benedryl for ingested and skin-contact allergen incident. He was feeling pretty spunky when I showed up and was pushing all the buttons in the rescue squad. (lots of lights and alarms to play with!). Sam says "button" for all the cool things that need to be pushed. We signed the waiver and accepted him as is without a trip to the hospital. He was fine that evening.
When you ask Sam a simple question like "Who wants dinner?" or "Who wants to play?", he responds with a slightly feeble "I do" and raises his arm up. It's priceless.
Sam goes to the allergist tomorrow-- a follow up on antigen levels in blood from blood drawn last week. We're hoping to get baseline levels on his allergies to milk, egg, and beef. Janna is in the same boat, but at 5 years old, we're hoping for some drop in levels on her list of milk, egg, sesame, nuts. Still hoping she will outgrow some of them in the next few years.
Sam with Sue and his Cardiologist, Dr. Scheel at annual exam. Sam will continue under her care for the next few years. At this year's annual exam, Sam was too rambunctious to allow an EKG. He also started making heart echocardiogram noises with his mouth. :-)
Sam with Dr. Everett at Hopkins Heart Party, Sept 24th, 2006. Sam was under Dr. Everett's care while admitted at Hopkins for his surgery.
Sam with his Uncle Mark on Thanksgiving Day 2006.
