The amazing journey of a brave, fun-loving, creative boy who is enduring and has overcome so much already: failure to thrive, feeding tube dependency, food allergies, silent reflux, pulmonary valvar stenosis, chiari malformation, syringomyelia, retroflexed odontoid, mild bilateral hearing loss, a blood coagulation disorder, and Noonan Syndrome.

Food allergies: Mango?
We think that Auggie had a reaction to mango. I gave him a big chunk, peel and all, to munch on and lo and behold a few hours later he had hives on his wrists and eczema all over his body :( I did find out that mango contains urushiol, the same sustance found in poison ivy! Mango is out for now. We will have Auggie tested for allergies in May - we'll probably do skin prick tests to rule out specific foods that we suspect such as dairy, soy, mango and others.
