Bring on the Eggs!

With all the excitement of Elyse's arrival, I forgot to mention that we had the kids tested for allergies a few days before Elyse was born. Henry tested negative for almonds and hazelnuts, but was still positive for peanuts, pecans, walnuts, cashews, and flax. We still have to avoid all nuts in order to avoid cross-contamination. However, Miss Ava tested negative for EVERYTHING! So we have a family diet that now includes eggs which opens many doors for us at home but is even more helpful when we eat out. She has enjoyed ice cream, pancakes, cookies--all made with eggs without any problem! We are so, so grateful and pray that Henry continues to outgrow his allergies as well.
