Okay, so most of you know Addy’s story. She has Food Protein Induced Entercolitis Syndrome (well, at least thats what the docs have narrowed it down to). She has been on Neocate since 7 months and hasn’t been able to tolerate ANY solids (she’s 14 months old). So last week, I gave her a organic cheerio bc I was eating them. (I never give her food, I guess it was a moment of weakness.) And I probably ended up giving her 4 total (broken into pieces since she’s never eaten anything like that, I didn’t want her to get choked). And no signs of any reactions the next day. So everyday for the past 5 days, I have been letting her eat more and more cheerios each day with NO REACTION YET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I haven’t even mentioned it to anyone (but my dh) until today bc I didn’t want to jinx it or have to tell everyone again when her symptoms came back. I know most people are probably like…big deal, she can eat cheerios but this is a HUGE thing in our lives! I am so excited for her…and for me!!!! It is just wonderful!!!!!!!!!!!! I was crying so hard this afternoon bc I am so overwhelmed with pure joy!

YAY!

Well done Addy (amd mommy). It must feel so nice for Addy to be exploring food. I hope this is the first step in many.
