National Jewish Here We Come.... Date yet to be determined!

As I have made all of you painfully aware on multiple occasions, we have been engaging in an almost six year battle with eczema, severe food allergies and now asthma. Morgan is technically the patient and not to minimize what the poor bunny goes through, we are all affected emotionally by her ailments. We have grown extremely tired of having medical professionals scratch their heads, hope she'll outgrow her afflictions and prescribe another round of costly and for the most part ineffective medications, all of which have potential side effects, of course! So the Kearney fam has taken matters into our own hands. We have been approved to participate in an intensive outpatient medical program, where we'll focus on a treatment regimen that will alleviate her eczema (yay, no more rude comments from strangers!!!!) and then we'll work to identify the triggers and either narrow her food allergy list or expand it. We'll be with some of the leading medical professionals working on these issues. She'll also receive some art therapy and counseling to help her in dealing with the emotional side of being "different" from her buddies. To say we are ecstatic about being able to give our little girl this opportunity is an understatement.... The poor program coordinator gets at least one phone call per day from me asking if it's time to get scheduled. What she keeps telling me is that it will most likely be sometime in September (but I am pushing for August, so Morgan can start school with clear skin!) Wahoo! We are so lucky to be able to participate in this program...


Our soon to be home away from home. We'll be there at the very least two weeks... Watch out Denver, there are two Kearney ladies coming your way!

I stole this picture from another patient's blog, who attended the program. Morgan will be wrapped for at least the first couple of days there. I'm sure she's going to love that!
