Hey! I'm Christy :) I am a mama of 5 born within 3 years!! We're a colorful family with a variety of ethnicities living in Northern California. Welcome to my channel and all the love and chaos that comes with it! My husband and I grew our family through foster care adoptions. I invite you to subscribe to follow our foster to adoption journey and see how I manage my large family.
My ultimate goal is to empower others on their own foster or adoption journeys. It really takes a village and it's so much easier to share the journey. I hope my channel educates, inspires, and helps you connect with others on the same journey.

I cried, as a mom I can’t imagine what it’s like especially being pregnant. Sending nothing but prayers, hope to get answers soon 🙏🏼

[@roxxz5097]

My son had an allergic reaction to me spraying the sunblock on his face. The next day, his face turned scaly bumpy super dry. The doctor gave him a steroid shot & some cream to put on his face. And she told me to give him Benadryl. It started clearing up within a week.

[@cherylk8781]

Christy I'm so sorry that Ace has suffered in this manner. You and Ed, as his loving parents, have suffered as well. My heart and prayers go out to you all. 💞

[@seairrab408]

When my brother was younger my mom had him in the hospital because his skin was dry peeling and for the longest they couldn’t figure out why. It was Kawasaki’s disease which also causes inflammation in the body. He shortly got over it and was fine after it was treated. This could be something you all look into as well. Sorry you all have had to experience this! Hope everything stays okay🫶🏼

[@Mommyof3xo]

I'm so sorry!! My 20 month old had an anaphylactic allergic reaction about 3 weeks ago and was rushed to the hospital in the ambulance and by the time we got there, he was barely breathing. He needed epinephrine, breathing treatment, steroids, and they gave him something else.. we did benadryl at home and it basically did nothing. They sent us home with an epi pen. We stayed in the observations unit all night after it happened.. we still aren't sure what happened either. It was SO scary! I totally get it and now I'm on edge 24/7!! Talk about anxiety! I get it, I'm sorry! 😔

[@yoly507]

My son had the same reaction and years layer it happened again and he's allergic to the dye in children's medication. Who would even think of that.

[@sunshinesunshine8375]

Prayers you get the answers you need and that never happens again. I hope he is doing much better

[@crystaljames816]

I decree and I declare healing over his body. I walk by faith and not by sight. Healing is the children's bread. He is healed right now in the mighty name of jesus .amen

[@user-qg3jx2pk4m]

I’m so sorry that this is happening to Ace. Hopefully the doctors/allergists can figure out soon what is going on! Do you guys keep an epi pen in the house/with you at all time? An influencer that I knew on IG died last year due to an allergic reaction, if only she had an epi pen with her. Will be praying for Ace and the rest of the family! Also hope you have a safe delivery!!

[@shellyb6926]

I know thats so frustrating when professionals dont have the answers. Thank you for sharing. I hope he keeps recovering.

[@jennywilliams6012]

Fingers crossed you can find out whats causing the issue hope he has a speedy recovery 🙏 ❤

[@tamerilee]

Baby boy Ace!!!🤎🤎🤎 so glad y’all took every route n medical thing u could to treat him n I’m happier he’s home now 🥺🥺 will y’all go to a dermatologist for his skin? Sending love!!

[@lannaanderson2928]

I literally cried watching this video. I’m praying for little Ace, you and your husband and the rest of the family

[@lyn930]

I'm praying for Ace and will continue. What a scary thing for all to go thru. In the name of Jesus, Ace will never have a repeat episode. Take care of yourself, Christie. That was a lot of stress. Praying for you, the baby and your family too. Blessings!

[@shawnetterobinson6859]

This made me cry 😭 since you are so open about your family I feel like I know y'all. Thanks for the update.

[@justbecause951]

I have to respond here. I had the EXACT same thing happen 3 times!. It's the sunblock. Trust me! My last episode was after lathering coppertone on my face and spending hours in the sun kayaking. The oxybenzone with the sun caused a horrible reaction. I had to lather my face in coconut oil cause it was so stiff and leathery. I had a fat potato face and swollen eyes but it never affected my breathing. I'm a nurse and had a patient come in with it and the doctors were clueless. I asked the mom if she put sunscreen on the kid and she said yes!. I knew it right away. Test spot an arm and see, although the face seems to be more affected. I'm 100% convinced it's the sunscreen. My mom made me a homemade sunscreen by whipping coconut oil and zinc oxide and that's what I use now. Glad hes better

[@chayahisrael1072]

I hope she reads this!!

[@Joseph-zd7kg]

If she didn't respond then I don't think that's it. They might have tried that but I could be wrong.

[@justbecause951]

@@Joseph-zd7kg No response is needed.. maybe its something else. In my case, It's a photoallergic reaction. Hopefully I helped somebody

[@mimilovinglife4544]

As someone who is very pale and burns looking at the sun but is now living in south India , I never wear sun block. The chemicals used are far more dangerous than being in the sun. I just cover up and put a hat on and limit my outside time in the lunchtime period. What I do use is pure natural Shea butter it’s a natural SPF.

[@Jasmine-sm4xu]

@christygior

[@deennacreek6352]

Christy.... I live here in Vegas too... my son had the same kind of reaction, and after searching and looking for the cause, we found out that he's allergic to feather pillows and soaps; now he's using an hypoallergenic pillow and baby soap, I hope your baby gets better... hugs and kisses 💋

[@kkhooray2153]

Both my kids were micro preemies, so my heart goes out to you and your family. You never get use to your child being in such a vulnerable state 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

[@tee-tee172]

Ace is truly bless to have you and your husband . I 🙏🏾 for his full healing. You got this mama Bear 🐻 🤎🤎

[@kishas3214]

I'm so sorry to hear what's going on with Ace I will definitely keep him and our family in my prayers as a mother of 4 I understand how scared you might feel sending you a huge virtual hug ❤

[@jaybird1301]

Christy I will be praying for Ace that doctors, find out what caused this. So happy he’s feeling better

[@debbiebridge5077]

Lifting Ace and your entire family up in prayers.

[@Melody_553]

Thank you for sharing, this happened to my daughter a few weeks ago also. Her face and eyes were so swollen she could not open them for days. The doctor put her on a liquid steroid and Zyrtec, and it went away slowly after a week or so. Her skin around her eyes and mouth were dark and scaly and she developed eczema like skin all over her body. We are also getting allergy testing. The doctor's just couldn't figure out what it was, they thought that the severe pollen was the case. Praying for your son and family.🥰

[@helloanna91]

gosh just listening to this made me emotional for you! I'm 6 months pregnant and I do have 1 little boy already. I feel your fears and your worries, being a mama or a dada is not easy and when kids are sick or hurt it just makes the day seem kinda grey and cloudy. Prayers for health, peace and calmness of mind.

[@mrlynn713]

Hi Christy, if the allergy results don't show anything significant, You should start asking about the possibility that this could be caused by an autoimmune condition. Could this be a rash cause by lupus? Could this be an anemic rash? What other differential diagnosis did they think of BESIDES allergies? I'd ask all those questions

[@AllisonWonders]

I second this

[@emalvido4592]

I have Lupus and R.A. So if he was given a steroid it would have helped. I have to take them when my medication needs to be adjusted from time to time. Just so that I feel better and can function.

[@VickiewithanIE]

Yesssssss 👍👍👍👍

[@tammyjuice]

I had these reactions for years. I just thought I had allergies. Years later I am diagnosed with autoimmune disorders and anemia. Seeing the same symptoms with my daughter and other family members.

[@leannwade9474]

Take him to a rheumatologist and see if he has an autoimmune disease.🙏

[@taniaruiz953]

Hope he recover fully recover from this soon and that you get the answers that you need. Blessings to your family.

[@lavonnem.6894]

Praying, praying, praying for Ace's healing and wholeness and for your family's peace Christy🙏🙏🙏🙏💗

[@maryjanepalmer6664]

I knew something was going on! Just had a bad feeling. I hope ace recovers quickly 🙏 you are an amazing mom. Stay strong Gior Family 💪

[@Snewsnaija]

Sending you our love and prayers. We hope you check on all the food he ate on that particular day. Allergies sometimes is caused by a food a person reacted to. Be strong

[@janyrianichole6406]

I’m literally crying I’m just so emotional 😮‍💨 I hope Ace gets better 🤎🤎🤎🤎

[@gabbyjanise]

I had this same experience with my son had a respiratory infection when he was 2. then 2 months later my baby girl had thrash. then 1yr later my son had hands, feet and mouth virus so because he had it my daughter caught it. it was a new experience for me being just 26 with two tiny people. I feel your level of stress 100 percent.

[@carmensoliman5677]

We understand. Family first

[@highpsi11]

This is so scary! Had he recently eaten anything that he's never had before? How difficult and frightening for all of you! I'm wondering whether he may have developed an intolerance to gluten because it can result in skin problems due to triggering an autoimmune reaction.

[@teryaki10]

I found your channel at first from a hair tutorial (my kids are mixed) and have now come to watch because I've grown to love your family and your story. Sweet Ace, a golden heart - it made me cry to hear of the struggle. I hope you find the answers to what caused it. I'm setting up my appointment for my kids allergy test as soon as I can. Thanks for always sharing, even when its such a vulnerable thing. Hugs Momma

[@dawnaleesmith6126]

Been waiting on a video from you❤️sending love from Jamaica 🇯🇲🇯🇲

[@galescoggins8542]

My heart goes out to you/Ace, my son broke out when he was young. At 1st no answers than when the test came back it stated he was allergic to grass. It's so hard as a mother not knowing what's going on with your child. I wish Ace a safe and speedy recovery, and that they find some answers to what's going on. Amen

[@soniaheard5685]

Sending prayers and hugs and hopefully gets answers soon. Blessings to you and your family on you new arrival 💙💙💙

[@bryanna7408]

You can’t do allergy test unless ordered by the Doctor or there’s a referral or necessity with most insurances unfortunately. So glad he’s doing better. I can feel the fear but we would do anything for our babies. Love you guys.

[@marcieh4650]

praying for a speedy and full recovery for Ace 🙏🙏🙏🙏🏻

[@its.indigo.pulchritudinous]

The love you have for your son is heartwarming. He is super blessed to have you and your husband as parents. I hope he gets better and prayers for Ace! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@michelleburch7936]

That made my heart heavy I’m praying for your family I have a daughter with food allergies so completely understand

Praying for Ace speedy recovery. 🙏🏾

[@dorothygreen6474]

that is so scary ,praying for answers .as a mom and grandma I know how you are feeling - my heart goes out to you all

[@hopedeclared3673]

My family uses coconut oil for the sun. 20 mins in the sun and then a break. As a special needs mom I’d fire that allergist! Stick with natural things ONLY for the skin. Aloe is amazing for healing skin conditions and irritations. Be well, mama 🙏

[@WW-kw3rt]

Thanks for tip, will check that out. I use shea butter sometimes.

[@britlu2944]

I don't know if this will help but the same thing happened to me several years ago. My panels came back I wasn't allergic to anything except seasonal stuff. My face, hands, feet would swell up daily. I was diagnosed with idiopathic angiodema and was told they had no reason why it was happening. After several years of going through it and Dr's and research it was my hormones causing it! The only drug that helped was taking 1 Allegra every day. I don't know if ace is old enough but maybe try Allegra to prevent the swelling. Prayers for ace!

[@jellibean011]

I'm praying for Ace and your whole family. I'm sure his siblings are just as worried as mom and dad. Years ago my sister woke up like Ace. After many tests and 3 different hospitals we found out she's allergic to tropical fruits. She had drank a fruit punch before bed and it worked its magic throughout the night.
