Update on Elliott

Everyone has been asking so I wanted to give you an update. First of all, thanks for the prayers and keep them coming. Elliott saw a pediatric allergy specialist this morning. They took lots of blood to do several tests. My sister says they should know the results in 3-6 days. After the tests are in they may or may not do the allergy "poke" test. Elliott looks A LOT better than on Friday but he is still taking liquid albuterol, benedryl, and eye drops daily. The little guy has been a trooper through it all. I guess now the prayers are for Matt and Rachel. Because of his medications Elliott is SUPER HYPER. He has not taken a nap since this started and he is moving 20 hours of the day. My sister refers to him as a "bumble bee". This is so unlike the easy-going, slow paced Elliott. Rachel and Matt are exhausted but thankful that he is doing better. I will keep you posted as I know more. Thanks for your prayers.

It's the albuteral it does the same thing to kaden.. she should tell them that it is making him hyper they have some other kinds I think.. it's like xnexopran or something.. but that may be for asthma (spelling is terrible on medical stuff sorry!)

Thanks Kim! He has not had any today and we hope to keep him off of it tomorrow as well. He seems to be coming back to planet earth.
