luke's hives

things here at the mcelyea household have been a little hectic here lately.  luke has had hives since the week before Christmas.  after dr. visits, allergy testing, sinus x-rays, dr. denny decided to refer us to dr. theos, a pediatric dermatologist at children't hospital in birmingham.  she diagnosed luke with chronic urticaria (fancy for chronic hives).  so, he is now on 2 medications to help with the itching.  she also informed us that this could last up to a YEAR!!!  my goodness......

so, please keep luke in your prayers.  please pray for him to get well soon....and that this DOES NOT last a year!!!

brian, jessica and tucker came over last friday night for dinner.  the boys had a blast playing!  here is a shot of superman and buzz lightyear....

allie is 3 months

well, not for a couple of more days.  i can't believe how time is flying by!  3 months already...really??  allie is smiling away nowdays.  she's almost laughing outloud.  we have tried a few nights with cereal...yeah, she loves it!  sleeping all night is in the bag!!  going to bed around 8:00-9:00 and waking up around 5:30 or 6:00.  yay for us, hu?  i went back to work on monday...boy that was hard.  but, we all survived.  we had her 3 month pictures done today.  needless to say, i think she was a little camera shy!

allie bug, we love you!  stop growing up so fast!

allie's 2 month check up

well, allie is a healthy baby for sure.  she went for her 2 month check up on wednesday.  she is in the 70th percentile for everything.  she now weighs 12 lb. 3 oz. and is 22 inches long.  we go see a urologist on jan. 14th because she has yet another bladder infection.  so, pray all goes well.  yes, those are band-aids on her legs from the shots... and yes, i did cry when she got those shots.....so did my mother!

ROLL TIDE!!

we are all super excited the tide rolled on thursday with the big win against texas!!  national champs 2009!!  i just had to dress allie up for it.  luke just wanted to be superman!
