A few weeks ago we took an overnight trip to Dallas to go the allergic clinic for a milk dose increase for Ella. She'd been on the .1 ml for over 4 months and it was a good time to go up, before school started and all. She was super excited to stay at the hotel, like she always is. I don't know what's with her and hotels and traveling, she absolutely loves them. Too bad we can't do much of it though.
It was all fine until the morning when she woke up being very anxious about the whole thing. Getting her to eat breakfast was a struggle and I was ready a couple of times to throw in the towel... . (Yes, this whole food allergy thing sometimes gets the "best" of me.) When doing desensitization, eating food prior to ingesting the milk/or any food allergen, is very important as it reduces the chances of an adverse reaction. The doctor visit went well and she took her increased dose of .3 ml. We waited in the infusion room for an hour to ensure no reaction occurs. Luckily there was none. She's been on this new dose for over two and a half weeks now and she's been fine so far. No stomach issues like she had back in March when she was taking a .7 ml dose.
Relaxed and relieved after the doctor's visit, we went to Whole Foods to grab some snacks, and then headed to the Grapevine Mills mall, an old Dallas favorite, where we did Legocenter and Sealife. Just like in the good ol' days of Dallas living. :) I also got to do some school clothes shopping for her.
Here we were doing one of the rides at Legocenter. It's indoor and Hrishi took the picture through the glass from outside.
Before driving back to H-town, we stopped by Hard Eight's Barbeque, which boy we miss having around here. That's serious barbecue but the best part is that we can eat all the meats on their menu!!!
