They will follow up with us in fall to see how the few items ... http://www.betterleys.com/blog/2010/03/07/preschool-assessments/ My Family from WiddlyTinks.com We were lucky enough to take some time away from Wisconsin last week to take a road trip to Louisiana to see half of James' family. His Mom was born there, and lived there into her 20's before meeting James' dad who was traveling and wrestling (I ... http://www.betterleys.com/blog/2010/02/28/time-away/ James will have his endoscopy in mid March. It's further away than we would have liked, but the only other date (sooner) they had available we had a conflict with.

James ate rye ... http://www.betterleys.com/blog/2010/02/09/endoscopy-scheduled/ After a talk with the nurse who finally was returned her call by the dietitian, she said that J doesn't have to have a specific amount of gluten- just needs to be eating it to show. So, I made him a gluten free/wheat free 2 cup, and 1 cup rye ... http://www.betterleys.com/blog/2010/02/04/rye-take-twoendo-waiting/ though I'm not sure barley loves him. He's eaten it the last 4 nights for dinner, just straight up cooked in vegetable broth and a little butter.

This food allergy stuff is for the birds. I'm off to yet another store today to try to find something to feed James that is wheat free, but not gluten free.

James went out to a work function and was gone till just before J&E went to bed normally-about 9 minutes actually. He was so glad to get to see them, and they him. They have this thing they do- mom doesn't do it ... http://www.betterleys.com/blog/2010/01/21/ouch/ So James (lil) saw the GI Dr again yesterday, for his 2 month recheck. If you remember, we put him thru a total clean out, followed by daily maintenance and a rescue plan for anytime he didn't go bathroom in a day. The Dr we saw last time wasn't there this ... http://www.betterleys.com/blog/2010/01/16/gi-update/
