I know i was ment to do this blog last week but other things came up.
Well, Josh had his allergy testing done and i must say he was one brave boy and was very well behaved on the day. The appointment fell on a Thursday which is childcare day for Josh and Amy so i took Amy in for the day and made it a very special day for Josh and mummy.
We went and had the allergy testing which happend to be the prick test which ment that the nurse wrote about 12 letters on his arm then put a different liquid next to the letters then got this little needle thing and made a small dot into each liquid mix. Within about a minute he had a reaction to egg white, egg yolk and peanuts. Everything else was fine which was other nuts, dust mites and grass. This all comes as no suprise to us but after about 1/2 an hour the reaction started going down without the aid of a antihystimine which now means the egg and nuts isn't the cause of the hives. The good thing is he can still have cake and stuff that has eggs but means he can't have a whole egg or Meringues but no peanuts. The bad thing is we are back to see the allergist for another round of testing this time testing plants and the likes. It is a very expensive process but when it is the kids and their health money means nothing.
After the testing i took him to Mc Donalds for a happy meal and he was so proud of the fact that he had writing on his arm that he decided to show anyone that was standing there long enough to look. He wouldn't even put a jumper on because he thought that it would rub the writing off. We came home and watched a few DVD and had some beautiful cuddles on the couch.
At least i know he will be fine for the next round of testing. Again, i will let you all know how he goes.
