(Forgive the picture quality as this was taken with my phone)
Each morning when my alarm clock (otherwise known as Nicholas) goes off, we get up and begin our morning ritual. I change his diaper and get him dressed, make a bottle of hypoallergenic formula and fill a bowl with one of the few solid foods that he hasn't allergically reacted to and start dispensing the long list of medications he takes everyday. And every morning, I can't help but feel sad while I complete each task.
I want him to be able to try so many different types of food, to enjoy eating delicious foods. I wish he didn't have trouble keeping food down or have trouble breathing at times because he couldn't. I don't want him to have to make medication a part of his routine. He used to make a sour face when I would give his medicine, now he doesn't seem to care. That part is the hardest for me because I don't want this to become a normal part of his life, I don't want him to think that the troubles he has had, the daily bouts of throwing up and the daily medications are normal. I want him to grow up happy and healthy and have the best life possible.
I don't like the idea of giving him different medications and putting on various creams and prescription lotions, but I have seen him without them. He is miserable. I know they are working and I know that they are making him feel better. While we still have some rough days, he is doing 10 times better than he was 2 months ago and 20 times better than he was 4 months ago.
He is getting better and I am grateful for that, I just wish he didn't have to go through any of this in the first place. If I could have one wish for him, I would wish that he would not remember any of these rough and sometimes painful months when he gets older and that he grows to be a happy, healthy little boy that leaves all of these issues behind him.
