Welcome to my world....My husband and I have three crazy and hilarious little boys. They keep us smiling and laughing everyday. Our 5 year old suffers from Eosinophilic Colitis and we need as many positive moments as we can as we help him to thrive and try to lead as normal a life as possible :)

5 Long days....




My little Bryce in pain Sunday night
 It has been awhile since we had a long period of time that Bryce was unable to go 'potty'.....until this week. Over the past five days Bryce's condition began to decline. He experienced allergies getting more severe as each day went on. On Sunday night, we were up all night, terrible allergies and excruciating stomach pain. His crying kept the whole house up and come Monday we laid around all day. I soon realized that we would have no choice but to put him back on his medicine, something I try to avoid at all costs, but his suffering became unbearable. Monday evening he had his first dose and a second again this morning. Though he slept all night last night it was obvious he was still in a lot of pain. Shortly after breakfast he went running to the bathroom, and was able to go!
The strange thing is we have been home since the symptoms started. So did he sneak something? Maybe, but I hadn't noticed it and usually stay on top of him pretty well. Have airborne allergans taken their toll? I am guessing this is the culprit. Our street has been torn up for construction and between the dust and this wonderful Texas weather, no one can stay well.
But for today he is happy again! As usual we will take it day by day. Hopefully it will be another several months before he has to go through this again, or maybe he won't! Hey, a mom can always hope :)

The small circle stickers are for him being able to pee,
the larger fire truck is him pooping, it was his first one in five days :)
