I’m worried that we approached this cat allergy thing totally wrong with Jude. He’s just distraught at the thought of having to give them up because of his allergies and was sobbing about it most of the night. He even said he’d take a poke every second if we could keep them. I think I may have told Jude that God had designed him to be allergic to cats and we can’t really change that and then in response to that Jude told me, “Well, you can’t change my heart and I love them.†It’s just really strange since, until we got back from Indiana, Jude hadn’t really paid much attention to the cats. But, I think that after we got back from Indiana, he felt bad for them that they were left alone the whole time and tried to give them attention every day. He has even asked me on a daily basis since then, “Mom, can you pet Elli?†He also recently asked when their birthdays were and wanted to start celebrating them. He also asked recently (and before finding out he was allergic) to see picture of them when they were younger. This is going to be much tougher than I thought it would be.
