Ah, a nice Saturday

First, The Zac's spent the day at Joy's and got the heat fixed in Big Zac's car! Whoo hoo! Poor Zac was driving to work at 3 am with no heat. Turns out that heat is NOT a luxury but instead a necessity!
Lu and I spend the day at home so she could hopefully recuperate a little more after being sick this week. She refused to nap, saying her belly hurt and was glued to the side of me all day. I didn't even get to pee by myself! She got this rash all over her face today too. No idea what it is. It started off as a little spot and by evening it had engulfed the entire bottom half of her face. Hopefully it will have gone away by tomorrow. I have been dying to get professional pictures taken of her because it hasn't been done since she was about 6 months old. Every time I even think about taking her in she busts out in some sort of rash! Grr! Maybe if I think about NOT taking her in to get pictures the rash will magically go away! ;)
Tonight I got a very very special treat: I went to dinner with a mom from one of my support groups for kids with Eos. She has an almost 5 yr old little girl with the same thing Lucy has. Her daughter eats beef and chicken along with formula. Previously she had other foods, but recently they found out she was not tolerating them as they thought and she had to have them taken away :( Poor kiddo! It was so amazing talking to a mom who knows exactly what my entire life is all about. We sat in Red Lobster, enjoying the fact we were actually eating in a restaurant without worrying someone might go into anaphalactic shock at any moment, talking about medications, formulas, poop and barf! LOL! It was a great time. We could spend all day talking and sharing information. Its just such a relief to get a little time with another mom that gets the daily struggles we go through here.
