Yesterday was a pretty busy day as always. We went downtown for Elijah's Speech and OT and then went to the Kansas side in Overland Park so Eli could get his Allergy shot. We do this every Monday. Today Eli has a doctors appointment just so we can re adjust his meds and get new orders for medical/Gtube supplies.
Last Thursday we were given his full allergy results. He is so severely allergic to so many things that they are putting him on a very limited special diet. He cannot have the gtube formula that we used to use, So I have to make him Meals out of a 4 day program they gave and then blend them to liquify them.
This is going to take a lot of willpower and time on my part, but will be worth it if it helps him. I am thinking about making a ton of meals before hand and then freezing them so all I will need to do is put it in my vitamix blender to liquify it. Thanks goodness for my Vita Mix! Really it has been a blessing and anyone who is thinking about getting one and has a medical need for it, You can call them and get a nice discount with proof from a doctor.
After Eli's doctor appointment we are going shopping for the food he can have. For what he will actually "eat", there isn't anything that is going to be able to stay familiar in his diet except for water I think. But, I am going to try to play off of the fact that he prefers dry and crunchy things and go from there. I am so thankful I have the perfect OT to help me because she can get him to try new things where as I don't stand a chance!
