MIA or BWI

Sorry I have been MIA you see we have a BWI (baby with issues), Gage has been ill more times his first year than he has been well. The most recent was a now 3.5 week long stint of viruses followed by an ear infection which lead to another allergic reaction to his 3rd antibiotic in turn having to miss his flu shots twice and a large consumption of Benadryl, causing him for the second time to not be allowed to continue with his schedule allergy test at the allergy doctor who normally doesn't take patients under the age of two but our son has been now classified as "difficult" by his pediatrician due to the 3 allergy responses to antibiotics and what seems like every thing else new. We kept the appointment with the new allergy doc because we had to stop the antibiotic because of facial swelling and a body covering raised red rash before the above listed ear infection could clear up. Although we could not do the scratch test we did have to try a new rash causing antibiotic because of the resulting double ear infection that did not clear up with only 4 doses of the first drug before the bumps took over. Gage was put on a new, to take for a long time allergy medicine, nasal steroid and a new antibiotic but naturaly the swelling took charge and we had to discontinue after 5 doses and now we sit, hoping and praying that his infection is gone.

SIGH....give the kid a break already....
