That's what Jaxon has. Yea, I know... You have no idea what that means. Basically his esophagis is allergic to food. We don't really know what kind of food (maybe dairy?)... but there are two different ways to treat this. The first way is to put him on a strict diet to try to figure out exactly what is giving him all of the problems. This would be really hard for a 14 month old... especially a 14 month old like Jaxon that doesn't eat very much period. The second way is to use an inhaler called Flovent. He can use this inhaler, and eat whatever he wants. The doctor did do a biopsy, and we will know the results from this next Wednesday or Thursday. Once the biopsy comes back and as long as it is okay, which the doctor was 98% sure it would be, we will start treating the eosinophillic esophagitis... So thank you all for praying. And thank You Lord for taking care of my little boy...

Again.....so glad you all finally know what this is and that you can start treating it soon. On the way home tonight, I prayed that finding out what he is allergic to would be easy for you and that God would give you the patience you need to deal with it. As mothers, none of us can stand it when our little ones are sick....especially when they can't tell us what is wrong. Frustrating, yes, but the payout for being a mommy far outweighs the frustration.
I've been waiting for this post! I'm so glad that they finally figured out what it is that is causing this! We need to do lunch or supper soon! I love you!!
Thanks girls. I am glad that they figured it out too. And Deena, you're right. As frustrated as I have been over this situation I wouldn't trade being Jaxon's Mommy for anything in the world...
Britt, call me. I need Pinos. Oh, and I love you too ;)
I'm so glad they had some answers for you :)
