The newest arrival!

As we close in on the last of the snow, I figured it was time to give an update. Evan has still been fighting chronic ear infections. After repeated doctor visits and different antibiotics, we decided to try something different and took him to our chiropractor. Evan enjoyed his little rubdown, and then it was time for a visit to an allergy specialist.

Good news is that some of the things that Evan's family doctor said that we was allergic to turned out to be a false-positive. So, Evan IS NOT allergic to milk and other dairy products. Unfortunately, he is allergic to peanuts, eggs, and cat dander. We worked with a nutritionist to identify good food substitutes, and we also purchased a few epi-pens, in case Evan has a severe allergic reaction to something.

The bad news is that we had to give our cat, Sneak, away. I posted pictures of her at the local grocery stores and with some of the local vet clinics. I had a call on Saturday afternoon, March 14th, from a couple who was looking for a cat to give to their pastor and his wife. They stopped over, and, twenty minutes later, Sneak was packed up and headed off to Minnesota. Anna was crying, but not as much as I did after they had left. When Angela was pregnant, I knew there might be a chance that we would have to let Sneak go, and, even though I thought I was prepared for that day, it still hurt to have to say goodbye.

Anyway, let's focus on the warmer weather and good things to come. Enjoy some photos and videos! HAPPY SPRING, EVERYONE!!
