So I was totally wrong! In fact I couldn't have been more off. So here it goes...
Nora is not allergic to corn. Of course I am quite happy to hear this news. Soy and corn would have been a complicated mess for sure. What is she allergic to?
Mildest allergies are wheat, chicken and peanuts. A little higher are tree nuts. While this all sounds daunting, they are mild allergies and nothing to be too concerned about. Just to give an idea. They rate the tests for 0 = no allergic reaction to 4+ = couldn't be more allergic. Her soy allergic is a 4+. The first 3 are 1+ and the tree nuts are 2+. Of course all this could change one way or another and many times. We'll just be careful and continue testing for the next few years. Whoo Hoo!
Most difficult of all? The fact that she has to be on this wicked expensive formula for at least another year - if not longer. We just might have to do some bake sales or better yet...garage sales. The boys! I mean their toys. They have way too many toys! I'm sure they wouldn't mind to help out the cause, right? Honestly, they probably wouldn't even notice. They are that spoiled. But they're so dang cute!

That is good to hear. I mean the soy thing alone sucks but at least there is only one major concern at this point. It is too bad that soy is in everything. Hopefully she grows out of it!!
We so glad that she's not so allergic to everything! It's such a nightmare for you to have to protect her from every crumb on the floor. At least you know that most things won't cause horrible reactions all over her body. And she's eating 3 foods now. It's progress! :)
Allergies are a beast... but I'm glad it's more manageable than you thought!
