Ask Dr. Mommy |
 Dr. Mommy is better known as Rachel Zahn, MD, a pediatrician and local mom of three kids, ages 20, 18, and 14. All three were born during her medical training, earning her the title. Rachel is also an Angels Board member. She attended the Angels annual luncheon in 2006 and says "I was so impressed with the organization, and so moved by the kids and their stories that I had to offer to help. The more I learn about Angels, the more passionate I become about our goals."
Angels wants to give you the opportunity to send in your questions and have them answered by Dr. Mommy. If you have a question, email Dr. Mommy!
Please read Dr. Mommy's question:
Dear Dr. Mommy,
We welcomed an adorable three-year-old Angel into our home about 6 months ago. She's happy, growing beautifully, and seems to have adjusted smoothly to her new environment.
Since she arrived she's had an on-and-off problem with runny nose and watery eyes. At first we thought she was catching one cold after the other, but the pediatrician says she may have allergies. She also has a rash that comes and goes on her face, legs, and arms that's been diagnosed as eczema.
Last week we met with her biological mom for a scheduled visit. I noticed that Mom seemed to be sneezing and blowing her nose, so I asked her if she had a cold (worrying that it would spread to our household). She told us that it wasn't a cold, but allergies, and I started to put 2 and 2 together.Do allergy problems run in families? Isn't a three-year-old too young for allergies?

| Foster Parent Spotlight |
Baby Nina, only 2 months old, came into foster care with allegations of parental "mishandling", while living with parents who had substance abuse issues and bleak financial resources. She was placed in a Angels foster family, a family with children of their own with the emotional, financial and parenting resources needed to nurture, provide and protect Nina, where she would heal and learn to trust again.
