Updates!!

We visited with Dr. Murphy and Dr. Rhinehardt again today!

Dr. Rhinehardt said that Matthew's hypermobility is doing great. Needs some more help to stabilize hips and ankles, but we can do that! He said as far as long run, we don't need to see him, unless we have issues. As far as long, long run he may have to wear ankle braces to support his ankles from rolling when he plays sports, but so did Jason and I!

Okay...so allergy update!

Drew's regimen got all changed again today! He will continue with the Dallergy twice a day and the steroid cream for now, but since all of his allergies are things we can't control...grass, trees, ragweed...and the medicine isn't working very well, we get to start allergy shots.

He said with Matthew's being food allergies, we could take them away from him so therefore no shots. This is not the case obviously with Drew.

They mix up the serum and then send it to the clinic here and then we go in once a week for shots.

He wanted to do this therapy so he doesn't have to shove pills down his throat for the rest of his life! :) I like that theory!

He was very hopeful that we could make Drew feel better! He said the downfall to all of this, is that he's allergic to all the things that little boys love!

Matt got some help out with allergies too, and possible future testing later, but for now, just a pill to help!
