Healing Gianna

Week 33

Gia eats her peanut fragments with GF weetbix and df yoghurt to hide the grains, she loves her cow’s milk and egg solution, always saying it tastes soooo good.

A good week so far, we stayed mostly indoors but went out to shop some days just to have a different view.

When you try to keep the kids bored some days, they start being more resourceful and creative with their play. These girls built forts and tents like we used to- anything they can stack up together made it work ☺️. I had to help them wrap towels and scarves to make princess dresses, they had fashion shows 😅, they even held a concert 🎵 pretending to be Taylor Swift 😂🫣

God is so good, so so so so good ❤️❤️Thanks to the Lord 💕

Gianna’s histamine bucket is overflowing 😔

Transitioning to two actual foods, added egg solution-she might have been doing well, but environmental allergens are filling up her bucket too much this spring.

We now have days with itchy red spots and small hives from friction, heat, pollen and dust exposure. These were irrelevant before, but since the season changed, Gianna has been so reactive.

I have to be more creative in keeping her indoors- gf playdough, interesting books, simple science experiments, dolls and pretend plays, duplo and magnetic tiles. Now I monitor the pollen levels outdoors but not knowing which exact pollen group to watch is simply annoying. This is what we need to check next time when Gia is stable, more tests on environmental factors.

I hate spring 🙈🙈

***our allergist explained that each person has a histamine bucket. It’s how much histamine is in your body and how your body breaks it down. With Gia, her bucket is always filled nearly halfway due to our treatment, but with other environmental allergens, the bucket fills up so quickly that her body can’t compensate. We are retraining her immune system so it’s busy with all the OIT foods. Histamine is piling up while she tries to break it down, but with too much in her bucket, it is slow and sometimes it overflows. This causes transient reactions and sometimes could lead to a severe one (if uncontrolled).

Week 32

Tough game against peanut fragments 🫣
We tried our best to give it in many different ways 😅 she still spat them out. She had small hives formed in minutes where the peanut touched her skin. So far it was just small hives, didn’t spread anywhere else. Gotta try again tomorrow.
We managed to up dose milk and egg without issues so at least that went well..

God bless us all 💕💕

Week 31

Gianna has been doing very well with her current doses. She doesn’t mind the taste at all so I guess that’s a big win ☺️ She’s so excited to eat peanuts next week and kept asking about it 😅 Unfortunately, we haven’t received our organic dry roasted peanuts yet 😬🙈 Hopefully it’ll arrive soon 🙏🏼

Trust the Lord, everything will be alright 💕

**while having a juice break, somebody asked me if they’re twins 😅😅

Week 30

Happy to share that Gianna will be transitioning to real peanuts in a fortnight! 🥳🥳

We updosed to our last peanut solution today, we reached 1 ml of whole milk and moved up to Solution B for egg.

Gia said she’s been very brave, and we definitely agree ☺️ She always prays with me when we get home and thank Jesus for all the healing she has gone through 💕

God is amazing ❤️

Week 28

Updosed to
0.7ml whole milk
5 ml Egg White Sol A
1.5 ml Peanut Sol E

Gianna was so eager to see Dr Tom and her nurses today. It’s so amazing how she’s gone from being fearful of medical staff to being excited to see them every fortnight. It’s funny, too, how she’ll be in full glam for her appointment—hair done, tutu, sunnies, and cool shoes on. 😂

Hopefully, she’ll tolerate her new doses this week. God is good. 💕

Week 27

Gia has been tolerating her doses well, she gets a few redness here and there but nothing major. Praying this week ends well for her 💕

In this journey, Jesus has always been our strength ❤️

Week 26

3ml Egg white Solution A- 2nd week of egg
1ml Peanut Solution E (last solution 😉)
0.5 Whole Milk

Yey! We did it again! Gianna had a smooth escalation this morning. She was a very chatty lady, non-stop storytelling 😂 It was good to hear her GPs talking about how well she’s been doing. We are praying everything will go well until she graduates 💕

Lift it all up to God, He’s always with us 💕☺️

Day 1 of egg 🙌🏻🙌🏻

God is always with us 💕💕
