He is my "cavity maker" so he had to have 3 fillings. Up until recently he has gone to a peds dentist, but after everytime I have taken him in and the dentist telling me exactly the same thing, I realized that he had no idea who Stone was even after several visits. I was looking for a more personal, "family" type atmosphere where the dentist remembers you. Less herding of patients in and out of the office. I found the most perfect dentist ever in Fort Worth! (She actually just called to check on him just after I finished writing that.)
We discovered that he is allergic to latex.
His little lip swelled up so big after we got home that I thought it would blow up. He had all of the symptoms (you know I've been Googleing it like crazy) runny nose, itching, etc. We've given him some Benedryl and he seems to be doing alright now.
It certainly didn't stop him from jumping around on the trampoline...
Or playing with GI JOES while waiting for Sam to get out of school.

Poor little guy. Hope his lip heals up soon. Doesn't look like it phases him though! Thank God for that! :)
On another note, what did you think of Monday nights show? So disappointing if you ask me. How insensitive to break it off and then start making out with another girl 10 minutes later. Doesn't show very much for his or her character, if you ask me! Then again...no one is asking me! LOL! :)

Hi Kathleen,
Isn't it scary when your little guy has an allergic reaction? I found your blog while searching for trampolines and "latex allergy". My 2 year old Connor swells up and gets hives everywhere when playing on our new trampoline. Did your son Stone have a reaction to your trampoline?
Cheers,
Another Kathleen
Thank you for your cogent thoughts on latex allergies; this is an important and often overlooked issue, and I found your words provocative and insightful.
The organization I work for, the Pacific Northwest Foundation, is devoted to researching alternative modes of healing for a variety of illnesses, including latex allergy. I wanted to share with you a video presentation of a case study we conducted some years ago about a woman with severe latex allergy who, through a variety of methods, was able to diminish her reactivity. The link to the presentation is http://pnf.org/html/anna_s_case.html.
I'd like to thank you so much for your contribution to the subject of latex allergy, and hope you will find the case study above helpful in your continued exploration into the subject.
