Kara was diagnosed with food protein induced enterocolitis syndrome (FPIES) in August of 2010. She has had many FPIES reactions and complications that have lead to numerous hospitalizations and specialist appointments. It was a huge sigh of relief to finally have some answers and a diagnosis, however we have to remind ourselves daily that this is a very serious disease and this is only the beginning of the long road we have in front of us.

18 Months!

Baby Girl turned 18 months a few days ago. I suppose that doesn't make her much of a baby anymore!

Kara had her well child check up on Monday and she is doing AWESOME! I was so happy coming out of that appointment that even the four shots she had to get couldn't bring me down! We started with her weight. Holy cow, did that scale really say 22 #, 15 oz? That's significant weight gain since the last time she was in. The doctor came in after the nurse was finished with her and immediately pulled up Kara's growth chart. Last February she was at her lowest, a large dip on the chart, down to 17%. She's since been lingering around the 22nd percentile. In the last 3 months we've gotten such a good menu going for her and as I've previously mentioned, she loves her ba-ba. This has resulted in a gain on the charts to THIRTY ONE PERCENT for weight! She's 25th for height which means that her weight gain is NO problem anymore.


All in all, she's doing great which is really nice to hear since we've been through quite a bit, all around lately. It was time for some good news for once!
