Kiwi Alet!

We found out yesterday that Ava has a serious anaphylaxis food allergy to kiwi. After doing a scratch test and seeing that she did have a reaction to the juice on her skin her doctor didn't want her to eat any in the office as we had planned. Ava was very mad about it, I had been talking it up for a few days to make sure she would actually eat it when she had to. We have to carry her epipen with us just in case she comes in contact with kiwi. The good news is that kiwi is really easy to avoid. We need to read labels of fruit punches and juice boxes and watch any fruit salads. We are very lucky it isn't nuts or dairy; something that is much more common. After the doctor appointment we of course stopped for a visit at the NICU, we just can't stop ourselves if we are in the building! Elizabeth showed all her tricks and impressed everyone. They couldn't believe how well she is doing and were very happy to see her so busy. She drew a big crowd of admirers!
