Allergist

Daniel had an appointment with the allergist today. He, unfortunately, has not outgrown any more allergies yet :(. He is developing even more allergies if you can believe it. That's the course for these type of food allergy patients or so the doctor says. He is starting in to the bad seasonal allergies now, but at least his medication is preventing the brunt of his symptoms--watery eyes, asthma, runny nose, etc. At this visit we had the skin prick test. He only gets this once a year and I am glad because it is pretty bad. They place the allergen protein on his back then scratch it into his skin to see what kind of reaction happens. Here are the before and after pictures. He was a very charming patient wrapping the staff around his finger because he left with pocketfuls of suckers and stickers. At our next visit in six months we will have to get his labs drawn to test his reaction that way. Keep you fingers crossed that maybe, just maybe, he might be able to expand his food horizons.

In other news I started a Yoga and Pilates class last night with my sister and sister-in-law. I have to say it is harder than it looks or rather I am more out of shape than I thought. It should be interesting to see if I get better as time goes on seeing as I have always lacked balance and coordination anyway. Even if I don't it is still nice to get out of the house without kids with me even though Aaron has to deal with a sad Sarah the whole time I am gone.
