No Fun at the Allergist...

 We had an allergy appt again...it has been a year so we had to go back.  And the results were no different as you can see by Hank's arm.  The big welts are a reaction to the pricks Hank got from eggs, peanut, tree nuts and coconut.  Those guys still do not agree with Hank's body...poor guy!  We have to get some blood work done and depending on those numbers we may do a "baked egg" challenge.   For kids allergic to eggs, sometimes they can tolerate eggs that are baked into food like cookies, muffins etc.  So once we do the blood work and talk to the doctor we will let you know how that goes!
You can't really see Mimi's reaction because of the flash from the camera but her sunflower reaction was as big and angry as it was the last time she was tested.  So her's has not changed either.  Did not get worse tough so at least that is positive :)

So we wait...and continue the way we have.  And make sure that Hank's new school in the fall is as wonderful with food allergy kids as his preschool was!
