Mr. Cam

As some of you know Cam was in the hospital for 2 days this week. He had been sick for a week but just gradually got worse and all the doctors including us just thought that it was allergies until Tuesday morning when he woke up barely breathing. I had taken him to see the doctor the day before but we were just sent home with more allergy medicine hoping that they would work that time but the situation got worse...WAY worse. When I got him back to the doctor's office his oxygen level was at 76 and for a kid it should be at least 95 so it was VERY scary! They started him on breathing treaments there, which seemed to help until he was done with one so off to the ER we go. At this point Cam is really working to get any air and they give more treatment and start an IV...That was a nightmare! Anyway, they ran tests and no RSV, Flu, or Pnemonia. They then diagnose him with a severe asthma attack that is allergy related. Kris has asthma and has always said I hope our kids NEVER end up with it and sure enough Cam got it. Anyway, so two days and nights later Cam is finally home and is doing awsome! He is back to normal and hopefully we will NEVER be in that situation again. We will have to give him treatments for the next couple of days and antibiotics as well but now maybe we can catch the attacks before it gets too bad again...if he ever gets one again. They don't know what triggered it and we may never know but we just have to keep our eyes open for shortness of breath. Anyway, I just want to thank every one who helped out with Faith...Mandy, my parents and Nanny you were a life saver! Also every one who stopped by and spent time with Cam while he was sick...couldn't have done it with out the company! THANKS!

I'm so glad he is home and doing good. It's times like these that I wish we were closer. Tell him I said Hi and glad he is better.

It is Never To LATE To STOP > ALLERGY March and the Lifetime Progression of Allergy Disease.

For Children who are Genetically PreDisposed to ALLERGY…

Skin / Eczema & GI & Colic Behavior “ Could” be early Signs of Allergy MARCH and it’s first Menifestation > FOOD Allergy.

1 Allergic Parent = 40-45 % / 2 Parents = 65-70 %
0 Allergic Parent = 10-15%

In a recent Study,
80% of Babies ( 6-12 mo. ) with mild to Severe Eczema / Skin
were Tested and FOUND to have FOOD Allergies.

For Genetically PreDisposed Infants…
ALLERGIES begin at BIRTH
FOOD Allergy is FIRST manifestation of the Progression of ALLERGY.

My I suggest that You ReSearch the Term > ALLERGY MARCH.

It describes the Chronological Clinically Proven Progression
Of multiple Diseases of ALLERGY thru a LifeTime.

UnLess Treated / Neutralized…
ALLERGY will Progress to Allergic ASTHMA
By age 5-6 Yr.

And the Progression of Allergy Does NOT STOP There ..
It continues 24 / 7 / 365 / A LifeTime unless Neutralized.

ACTION Steps:

ALLERGY Blood TEST for Environment & FOOD ( Delayed & Immediate > ONLY A Blood Test Can do This.. NOT A Skin Test )

Adjust DIET Based on FOOD Test

Neutralize Enviro Offending Allergens
Begin Under-the-Tongue ImmunoTherapy DROPs
Based on Enviro Allergy Test Result.

STOP Allergy March Before it Begins.

Got ALLERGIES ? WHY ?

So sorry to hear about Cam. Poor kid. My little girl has RSV and is on breathing treatments right now too. There is nothing worse than seeing your kids suffer!
