I called in to Dr. Ruff's office this morning to report on our Eggsperiment results (see previous blog post for details). I explained that while her reaction was far from serious, she did break out around her mouth for a while and, more intriguing to me, did not ask for more cookies when she finished the one. I have ready many reports from people with food allergies that they have a natural aversion to their personal allergens. Biology is so cool.

We had a rather eventful weekend here in the Blogger household, which is kind of unusual for us. Status quo around here involves quiet weekends at home with not a lot to do and a lot of "time filler" type activities like going to the park or the museum or something similar of a family type bent. However, I had decreed that this Sunday (today) would be Eggsperiment day! Our new pediatric allergist, Dr. Ruff, has advised us to reintroduce egg into Caroline's diet as an incorporated ingredient (see our previous blog entries for more details on why).

Today's blog is going to be a rundown of our first appointment with Dr. Ruff, the pediatric allergist we've started seeing in Dallas. I have to say that I was very impressed with Dr. Ruff for several reasons:
1. He listened to us. I mean, really listened and asked questions and never once made us feel like he was already mentally filing our chart to get to the next patient
2. He explained things thoroughly in an easily understandable vocabulary that was never once condescending in tone
3. He seemed genuinely comfortable with a toddler who wasn't terribly impressed with her surroundings and not shy about expressing her toddler-ific disgust with the entire proceedings

Today was a day of firsts here in the Blogger household. I have decided that today would mark the first day of my blogging adventure - just one small typo away from the slightly more embarrassing clogging adventure. But seriously, I am very much looking forward to sharing the ups and downs of my family's journey in dealing with our food allergic kid, namely Caroline. It seems every time I open a magazine or turn on the TV lately I'm hearing about the steady increase of food allergies among American kids - up to one in every 25. And, if their experience has been anything like ours then it starts at a frighteningly young age. Caroline had just turned one when we had our first allergic reaction.
