Last week Liam had a reaction after eating some cashew butter, which included vomiting and a spreading welty rash all over his torso.
He's possibly allergic to tree nuts, like almonds and cashews, but allergy testing will tell us for certain.
And the week prior he had a blood vessel raise the surface of his thigh and after he bumped it I couldn't get it to stop bleeding. The pedi was able to stop the bleeding and then promptly made an appointment for us to see the dermatologist. Ben ended up coming over from work, so he could hold Liam while the spot on his leg had to be shaved (!) off and then the blood vessel cauterized so that the unstoppable bleeding wouldn't occur again, thankfully.
It was just a random occurrence and nothing {we were told} to worry about.
But, of course, both instances left me in a panic as I dialed the pedi's office.
Thankfully all is well and the Lord never gives us more than we can handle!!
So, we're all hoping for an uneventful Monday around here. And so far so good.
But, Ben and I did enjoy the homemade cashew butter...
Just put some soaked raw cashews in the food processor
with some dates or prunes for a little sweetness
and eat it like you would peanut or almond butter!
And, in other news, we had a wonderful {but waaaaaay too fast!} weekend at home in GA with our family for my sister-in-law's baby shower!! Our kiddos are due six weeks apart!
P.S. I hope I'm not the only one whose house is an absolute wreak after a weekend out of town! Suitcases to unpack, laundry to do, toys to pick up, but I'm going to take advantage of Liam's nap time and rest instead of cleaning. {And I don't really feel bad about it!}
Happy Monday!
