Allergies!

Ever since John and I moved to Houston our allergies have been TERRIBLE!  Jaden on the other hand has had trouble with congestion since he was 10 days old.  I've taken him to 3 doctors within 2 months and were told by all 3 that he has allergies, which are causing chronic ear infections.  After a process of elimination, we think he's allergic to our cats.  Dr.s say we can't test until he's 2 years old but can keep giving him medication to make him "comfortable" until then.  As a animal lover, I never thought a child of mine would have pet allergies!  So now we're going to have to find new homes for Katie & Gordon.  I think Gordon is going to live with Grandma McKenna in Tulsa but we're still trying to find a home for Katie.  This breaks my heart because as many of you know, we had tried for 3 years to have a baby and at one point I thought my 2 cats would be the only "kids" I would ever have.  Throughout my pregnancy, Gordon would lay on my stomach like he knew I was carrying a baby.  After Jaden was born, Gordon would always sit by my side when I held Jaden.  And now that Jaden is up and running, Gordon follows him around or sits at the baby gate when Jaden is in his room playing.  Here are some pics of our three kids.

Katie is 17 years old and diabetic.  She needs two insulin shots daily and is on a special diet.  I know she is a hardship case but she is such a loving cat.  If anyone is interested in taking her in, please let me know.
