Update on Rocky!

We took Rocky back to the allergist because we felt like we needed more answers. I was reading one of my friend's post on FB about gluten free and how she found how she was allergic to gluten food and it made a lightbulb in my head goes off and I was like maybe that is what is wrong with Rocky. I kinda wanted to limited out all the possibilities of what he could possibly be allergic to. This time around he got tested for pepper because sometimes he is sensitive to pepper and then they tested him for wheat, barley, and rice and also Celiac (ex) cell disease. And also this time around I was just going to go do my own business and not concentrate on the results or anything like that. Well I got the results back today and he is negative on pepper and the Celiac cell disease so that is a good thing. Wheat: 0.17, Barley: 0.12, and Rice: 0.13 so just a little bit above negative so nothing to be too worried about. But isn't all of us a little bit sensitive to some foods? So all in all he really isn't a allergic to anything. So I guess that is a good thing. They said that if his symptoms get worse or progress than to advise to have oral food study which I was totally against from the beginning. I really don't think that does any good and gives you the answers that you are looking for. All they do is give you a type of food at different portions and just see how you do which each portion to see if they move on to the other portion. They said it's very well monitored and that they will treat the patient right there in the clinic if they find out that it effects them in any way and that a lot of parents are all for it and that if you want to schedule it than you have to do it as soon as possible because they fill up fast. I don't know about you but if I was getting tons of portions of one type of food I would be sick as well so I don't think it's that effective. And also why I also think it's pointless is because I don't think bread and that type of food really effect him. He always loves sandwiches especially from Subway and never gets sick off of them. I know when I was a little child certain foods I would avoid because I didn't like them and I think that is every child. And once I got older I was more opened to try new things and I am still opened to it and I love foods that I never loved as a child; everyone is like that. And I also know when I was in elementary some of the foods they had for school lunches sometimes didn't agree with my stomach and I think Rocky is the same way. I personally think Rocky will grow out of it and that he is ok. I just want to eliminate everything so I wasn't missing anything. And I think I got my answers. At the same time I wanted something to show up on his test results but at the same time I am relieved because then we don't have to be cautious on what foods he can and can't eat because I could imagine how hard it can be to have a child that has food allergies.

Should I join Scentsy?

A couple of weekends ago I went to a Scentsy party. While I was there I swear someone was telling me that I should join and start selling it. I love Scentsy and always have. I am always looking for a discount when it comes to buying the product. They have so many cute stuff now. It was weird because I was really down in the dumps when I went to this party because we are dealing with financial issues right now and I couldn't spend money at the time but something kept telling me this is what you need to do, this is what you need to do. I don't know if I should ignore it. Back in 2006 someone told Chris to quit Walmart and he listened to it and it was the best thing he ever did. I was working at Savers at the time on less than minimum wage and for some reason we survived. I don't know how we did it but we survived. The more and more I think about it maybe it was the holy spirit talking to him and maybe that was the same thing talking to me. I don't know if I am making any sense. Maybe this is my other calling to sell Scentsy. I am passionate about it. I always have been iffy about home base companies because I really don't think you can make a living off of them so I think that is one reason why this is holding me back and plus it takes $99 to start it. I can always start it and if it doesn't work out I guess it won't be a big deal because I am still going to keep my other job and Chris is still going to have his job and this would be just a job on the side. I need advice. I just want to do the right thing for my family.
