Lights fading out

Grady's test results came out better than we expected--he's only really allergic to egg, and the allergy is such that he can't have scrambled eggs or hard boiled or eggs over easy, but he can still eat brownies and pancakes and other stuff that has egg in it. So we are lucky there. I'm glad we went down to Children's for the additional testing. The scratch tests they did were much more accurate than the blood tests done here, and we also got a prescription for an Epi-Pen just in case G gets something he shouldn't.

We're going to keep going on the wheat and slowly introduce dairy, just to make sure he doesn't react. So all is well in the food department. Grady even gained some weight over the past few weeks, so I guess he was just due for a growth spurt. He's eating more and more table food too, since he acts like a little begging dog anytime anyone else has something to eat. But it's good--he seems willing to try anything, and he also seems to like just about everything he tries. Not like someone else we know, but I hesitate to name any names....Evan.

Jerry and Tammy were in town over the weekend. She has already returned to New York, but Jerry will be here through the end of the week, which Evan is very excited about. We took them to the spillway down here on Saturday (which Tammy was alternately impressed and disgusted by) and then we went up to Erie Sunday to go to Waldameer with the two of them and Timmy. We really enjoyed ourselves and Ev was in his glory with all the fun and attention. I think Grady had a pretty great time too, though he was a little annoyed that he couldn't go on most of the rides.

This week will be another busy one, stopping Wednesday for a picnic and fireworks (though I'm not sure we'll be brave enough to go to the "Boom Over The Bay" that has replaced Mercyhurst's usual display). Evan is really excited about the fireworks this year though, so we'll have to figure something out. Maybe it will be "Boom in Belle Valley" instead.
