Cooper had his annual allergy test back in November. Looks like we are not even close to being out of with woods with eggs. And all tree nuts are a no-go as well. I was super bummed about the egg allergy being as bad as it is. Kiddos tend to start growing out of it by this age, but his seems to have stayed the same... or may have become worse.
About to head back for testing. He got his toy before the test even began because I felt so sorry for what he was about to go through.
He did so much better with the actual prick part of the test this time around. He came back into the room after being pricked with no tears, but immediately started crying when he saw me because he was itching soooo bad....and there wasn't a single thing I could do for him. Let me dissect this picture. On the left side of his back is the negative/positive control....just to make sure the test is accurate. He even reacted to the negative, so when the test was all over and he thought we were going to leave, they had to retest the negative control on his forearm. He was not a happy camper, but at least it was negative the second time around. The A5 on the left side is eggs. The right side consists of the nut panel. #1 is almond. #8 is peanut. I think the only nut that didn't react was cashews.
