Miller Family Snapshot 2006-08-12 Text
Hello again dear friends and family,
We hope this letter finds you and yours doing well.
We had quite the eventful week in regards to Owen and Amelia conquering some more milestones:
Amelia's first tooth broke out yesterday (Fri, Aug 11). We can't see it yet, but when Jenna was feeling her gums, she noticed it. Our baby girl is growing so fast!
Owen said his first three-word sentence Wednesday. He said, "Bye-bye boo ting." (Bye-bye blue swing.) He said it as we left the park, putting all the words together himself.
Owen also had his annual allergy check-up and testing. Praise be to God, according to his test results, he is no longer officially allergic to milk products! According to his doctor's advice, we are now "testing" dairy products on him. In the last four days, he's had cheddar cheese, string cheese, and a combined 30 bites of (dare I say) yogurt. To refresh your memory, when we last gave him yogurt (6 bites at the age of 7 months), we had to go to the ER. I've attached a couple of pictures of that little adventure. However, the worst reaction he has had with the food in the last four days was 2 tiny bumps. Again I say, PRAISE GOD!!
As if that weren't good enough news, he is also practically not allergic to eggs anymore (according to his results). So, after about 2-3 months of progressively working him to an 8-ounce glass of 2% milk, we will be able to introduce eggs into his diet via pasta, cookies, etc. If he can handle the egg challenges, he will be free to eat almost any food! He is still severely allergic to peanuts, but instead of being tested at 15.0 like last year, he is now down to 5.7. Such great news for Owen!
That's about it from our neck of the woods for now. I'm in the midst of studying for two finals on Monday. After that, I have a clinical evaluation to attend on Tuesday, and then I am FREEEEEEEEEEEE to be with Jenna and the kids!!!
It was good to hear from those who wrote us after the last update. I look forward to being able to write you back when my life is my own again (at least for a month anyway).
We love you all. Have an incredible week!
In His Love,
Eric, Jenna, Miller-representation-in-Heaven-boy, No-more-allergy-boy, and Teething-girl
