We are still strictly following the dietary modifications given to Emma. When I find something we like, I add the recipe into my binder so that I can refer to it later. I am hoping to try (and approve) enough things this summer that I will have built up a vast supply of recipes once school starts in the fall. Being a teacher and a mom of two very active children, we spend a lot of long evenings at sporting events. So, it is important for me to get a handle on cooking for my family before my schedule goes crazy again.
Overall, Emma is doing a lot better. However, she has had one really, really bad day a week. She has been sick less days a week, but it is much more severe. She basically throws up nonstop one day a week (since she has been on this diet). And, ironically, it is always on a Wednesday. As a matter of fact, most of her bad days have fallen on Wednesdays for quite some time now. Her original diagnosis was cyclic vomiting syndrome (and it is one that has been considered several times since then), which means you literally vomit on a cycle for no reason. This makes me wonder if that diagnosis may be partially accurate on top of the allergies and other stuff. It stinks that she has to eat with all these modifications AND is still throwing up.
