Blog Prayer Request

Hello blogging or blog-reading friends,
I ask you to please pray for Jackson. In August we found out that Jackson has food allergies. He is allergic to
milk
egg
soy
peanuts
peas
(and I heard via friend that peas probably meant all beans).
Jackson then lost weight, gained some back, lost weight and gained some back. Pediatrician sent him in for some blood work to see if something else was going on. We learned that Jumpin J is anemic and hypoglycemic. Which meant - focus on proteins and sugars. Recently we had him retested to see if he had LOST any of these food allergies as has been my prayer since August. We now know that he is also allergic to
rice
wheat
tree nuts
sesame
sunflower
green and string beans BUT NOT pinto or black beans.
He is allergic to too many things to have anything resembling a balanced diet. And apparently is still having some rashy, itchy outbreaks even while removing all of the above food (except rice and wheat). The allergist doesn't want us to remove the rice and wheat yet since the only milk on the market HERE that he can drink is rice milk and they aren't life-threatening to him only make him itchy/rashy. He had blood work done to make sure there were no false positives on the skin test and to rescreen the anemia and hypoglycemia. We will get those results in a week or so. Meanwhile, paperwork is being processed to have Jackson's case seen by a dietician in Dallas at Children's Hospital. We are excited about this! We hope to correct the anemia and hypoglycemia and find some alternative options on eating so Jackson can gain weight. In the 6 months we have known about the food allergies, Jackson has gained only 4 ounces.

So, the ultimate, specific prayer request: for Jackson to be food-allergy free.
Another specific request: to find eating options for Jackson so he may be healthy and gain weight.
And still another: for me to have less anxiety about Jackson's food issues and to truly live this verse: I Thessalonians 5:16-18 Be joyful always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances.
