Well, today is a really good day.
Saw the allergy specialist today about Harrison's allergy to peanuts and egg. Looks like his peanut allergy is likely only a skin sensitivity at the moment. His blood test came back normal or negative. YAY! And he thinks it will likely go away over time. OMG could we be any luckier! But, over the next year, we need to be vigilant about keeping him away from peanut and peanut products. Because, if he continues to come into contact, it will likely turn into a full blown allergy. So we will live the next year as if he has the allergy and avoid all products, even those that say "may contain traces or manufactured on equipment..."
As for the egg allergy, that too will likely disappear with age. His levels were about normal or borderline for allergy. Studies have shown that this level often disappears with age! How lucky can we be? So he can continue to have the cakes and such but will avoid (like we always have) anything with whole egg, raw egg, or egg in large quantities.
We will have an epipen which doesn't bother me at all. In fact, I will feel better for having it. Rather have it and never use it than not have it and need it.
And to top off my day, I pretty much have a job. YAY! I applied for a job at Fremantle Hospital and she has all but told me I am hired. Got a rave review from my former boss in Canberra and am awaiting referal from my old boss in Melbourne but she was happy to just go with the one from the girl in Canberra! I will be only doing 2 days a week which is fantastic. And I am sure there will be opportunity to do more if there is sick calls or leave and I feel like working.
So I am feeling pretty happy today.
On a sad note, some of you know about IVF and that Dean and I were trying to get pregnant last year, well, we started again and my first cycle I didn't get pregnant. Disappointed but will try again. Harrison needs a baby brother or sister. |
