Allergy Test

This morning I walked Evan to school and then Morry and I took Noah to the allergy doctor.  They did a lot of allergy tests on him.  He was a trooper!  They had to scratch 19 spots on his back and then inject another 16 spots after that.   It turns out he is allergic to cedar and slightly allergic to ash and oak.

We have a few options.  He can start allergy shots or drops to desensitize him or continue on the Flonase next allergy season and see if that is enough.  Whatever we choose, it needs to be fully in his system by next November.  If we choose the Flonase route he will need to be sure to start it again at the beginning of the school year.  For shots or drops they would want us to start those soon.

We have a followup appointment in about a month to let them know what we decide.

After the appointment I let Noah choose a treat as a reward for doing very well during the appointment.  He choose to get coffee cake at Starbucks.  We stopped there on the way back to school.

We got to school just as Noah's lunch was about to start, so I joined him for lunch and then went home.

Morry and I walked to pick up the boys from school.

Morry and Evan are at baseball practice.  Hopefully, they will get home soon and then we will eat dinner.
