Allergy Test Results

Kayla went for her allergy test today. They did the skin prick test. The results are in and there is no improvement in Kayla's condition. In addition to the things that she is already allergic to (Milk, Eggs, Peanuts, Tree Nuts, apples, oat, beef, blueberry, strawberry, turkey, cat hair), she also is allergic to tomato, pork and dog hair.

It was a very disappointing appointment today. I was hoping for some improvement or at least her not being allergic to the tomato and pork. Also, even thought the blood test last year showed undetectible levels of turkey and blueberry, the test today showed a positive reaction to the skin prick test. I feel very defeated.

Kayla did really well, she didn't cry, she just held me tight. We told her that they were going to draw a pretty picture on her back. And boy was it pretty (NOT).

Anyway, we did get a new lotion that is supposed to help her skin, so we will try that hope that it helps her skin.

The next appointment is in 6 months. Hopefully something will change between now and then.

Christmas Eve and Day

We had a great Christmas this year. We went to Eric's on Christmas Eve and had the nativity seen and played the box game. Kayla was a Wiseman. Parker was baby Jesus. It was great.







We then went to Grandma Nyman's and played games.



Christmas Morning was great. Kayla loved her pajamas. She wouldn't take them off. She was so cute saying "No Peeking" and waving her little finger. It was priceless.


Kayla was very excited about her Santa gifts. She got a princess tent and a bed, stroller, bouncer, and toy for her baby. She got lots of other things too. We then went to Konie's for Christmas breakfast & presents. Then we went to the Nyman's to open presents and have lunch. We then made it home and opened the presents that Derrek and I got for Kayla. By that time, she had had enough. We left 4 presents for the next day. She didn't know what to play with first, there were so many things.

We are very blessed to have good friends and a great family. We are very lucky to have you all in our lives. We hope your season is merry and bright and you have love in your life.

Love,
The Nyman's
