Updates

 Some quick updates:

Prop 37

   In the recent election, Prop 37 (California) failed to pass.  Basically, it would have required all companies to disclose any GMOs in their products.  This was a serious blow for those of us who need, or even want, to know what is in our food supply.

Tests Are Back

The results on my son's C-1 blood tests came back.

HAE

I took my son to the allergist, because the facial swelling greatly worried me.

The allergist said, "I want to send your son to the hospital for some blood work.  I don't think it's an allergic reaction.  I think it's Hereditary Angioedema (HAE)."

MSG'd Grape

The other day we wanted grapes.  At the store, they were out of organic ones, so I grabbed regular grapes since I knew we were okay with them.

Reaction To ???

I had several topics to write about.  While in the process of researching, at 1 a.m on the 5th., my 17 year old son came downstairs.  His top lip was swollen.  He has always reacted worse than most when bit by insects.  Due to our location and "critter" population, my first assumption was "spider bite".
