Bannanas

So, Danielle and I spent last Wednesday together. It's not often that we get the pleasure of getting to spend a whole day together. What's the catch? Glad you asked.

It was a snowday and Melissa schools closed down including Mudpies and I wasn't going to show houses on a day like Wednesday. So what did we do? Did we sit around the house and relax? No...not industrious types like us. We worked.

Seems like yet another area daycare center closed down and my thrifty wife was taking advantage of CRAZY DEALS on preschool furnishings. So I went with her to help move some of these crazy deals to Mudpies.

While assembling these fine furnishings, I happened to look up at the wall in one of her classrooms. Seems that one of the kids at the school has an alergy to bannans. That got me to thinking.

For years, Ian has been covered in rough itchy red spots. They cover his legs and arms. It is eczema. We have been to specialist after specialist to try and help him with this condition. It drives him nuts. He itches constantly sometimes to the point of causing himself to bleed. The doctors that he has gone to have given him creams to help with the itching. Some have given him tests to see what is causing it. Milk products do seem to enhance it. But Ian has been on this highly restrictive diet since November. Why was the eczema coming back?

I had recalled that Danielle had bought a whole bushel of bannans at Sams. It is one of the food that we keep out on the counter. Ian pretty much eats them like a monkey who has been on a 30 day fast. He sneaks them like I used to sneak cookies. It took us all these years to link the two. Sure enough....no more bannans in the house and the eczema is gone. Funny how some of the answers are right in front of our face sometimes.
