Some weekend R & R

This weekend was a kick back weekend with little plans we managed to visit both my parents and Burt's mom. Cleaned house and of course it's a mess already, oh well at least I tried. Jackson is on his 5th night with no BINKY. The past 5 nights before bedtime he points to where we used to keep them crying wanting his "D" as he calls it. This weekend my poor Jackson has suffered a few allergic reactions which has stressed me out to say the least. Saturday night for dinner he tried little smokies for the first time and broke out with hives. Today he ate his hot dog with ketchup and broke out again around his mouth, was it the ketchup?? I am just FED UP with manufacturers that don't fully disclose the ingredients along with allergens on the labels. For dinner tonight I am making chicken pot pie and pray the cream of chicken does not have eggs. The label does not state eggs but the Hy-Vee brand has eggs disclosed. The allergist said manufacturers are not required to disclose if the food item does not contain the allergen but is made in the same factory as the allergen (cross-contamination) . Some manufacturers are great at listing that on the label but others have much room for improvement. I hope the FDA improves labeling requirements as many children suffer reactions much worse than Jack's and I empathize for those parents and children.
