You poor thing. Your poor daughter. I know that sick feeling when you hear they have yet another obstacle in their life to tackle. I can remember when they diagnosed my daughter with asthma. I stood there listening to the doctor with this giant lump in my throat and tears ready to overflow from my eyes. It is silly but you just think in your head, they have CAH what more could go wrong but it does. Poor Aimee knows that. She has said that before when she got cancer. Did they find the source of the hives? I am itching just thinking about it. Hives are torturous! My mother had them where it raised her short hair straight up in some places. Hudge hives. That was because she was allergic to penicillin and never was until she was in her 4o’s. I know my daughter itched her hands and the tops of her feet for a month solid but that was with a RASH not hives. She itched until they bled. We saw two dermatologists and neither one of them could agree on what the cause was. It was HELL. She itched in her sleep! That was the second office I stood in and cried because after weeks of tests, they said we have no answer. Her pediatrician says the rule of thumb with children and rashes are it is either a bug or a drug. Bug meaning a virus. So we took her off her maintenance drug Macrodantin that she was on for two years. I don’t know if it was a coincidence that the rash went away or if it was just the timing when the rash was going to go away by itself. Whatever the case was, we never let her take Macrodantin again.

What a vacation you guys had! WoW. This is a moment you look back and say, "How in the hell did we get through all that?" and then thank God you did. God bless, I hope this sugar thing will settle into your lives. Besides, we all need a lot less sugar in our diet. So tell her this is still a positive thing. That is so awesome that you too are cutting the sugar out. You are a good mom. It sounds to me like you are making this a positive thing.  Keep up the good work.
