A couple weeks ago Jessica took Jacob in to the doctor for is 3 month check up. The doctor decided to do some blood work on Jake to see where he was at with his wheat allergy.
If you didn't know Jacob has had a sever wheat allergy since he was about 6-9 months old. He cannot eat any sort of wheat product. It would cause his intestines (or something) to block calories so that it was very hard for him to gain any weight. So if the kid wanted a cookie we had to spend 8 trillion dollars on a cookie at the health food store that was made out of seaweed and cow hooves.
It really stunk. As a parent you have this weight that you carry knowing that you kid is not completely healthy. Back to the story.
The doctor calls later that afternoon and says that he is NOT allergic to any sort of wheat products.
He says. "I don't understand it. It is not a mistake and it was a not a mistake before. He is just NOT allergic to wheat any more."
So on hearing the news I made brownies as fas as I could and gave Jacob the biggest one brownie. He shoved it in his mouth, it took him about twenty minutes to eat. When he was all done he grabbed his sipppy cup and chugged his milk down. He slammed his sippy cup on the high chair like he just finished a shot of whiskey and said, "mmmmahhhhhh". As if to say thanks Dad I have needed that all my life.
PTL, my kid can eat pasta, bread, orieos! We have been feeding him every fattening thing we can get our hands on. Though he still loves fruit and broccoli more than anything. All I have to say is Praise God for healing my kid. It is pretty cool.
