Davey Tre went to see an allergy doc last week. We've been noticing his skin reacting to certain stuff, but we didn't know what. He would get itchy rashes and raised bumps and sometimes welts on his legs after playing outside. It didn't happen all the time but enough that we've been concerned. Also, he's been having trouble breathing out of his nose for months at a time. Mainly Fall and Spring. He also has regular sneezing and nighttime coughing so we knew it was time to take him to an allergist doc. Well, at his appointment we learned that he is still seriously allergic to peanuts. We learned that he is allergic to the grass in our yard: Kentucky Blue Grass. We learned he is allergic to 5 different kinds of tree pollen in Ohio. He is allergic to 6 different kinds of grass and weeds. He is allergic to dog and cat dander. He is allergic to dust mites. We also learned he is no longer allergic to eggs, so that's one piece of good news. Willow is part of the problem so she has to go... we're putting her down tomorrow. Only kidding! We're keeping her- dirty dog dander and all. We're just going to take a few more steps to keep Davey away from her and her dander out of the air circulating through the house. The doc started Davey on Claritin once a day and a nasal spray once a day, which is already showing significant improvements! I'm soo pleased with how the meds are working. Monkey even admits he feels better. He was such a BIG BOY during the skin testing! The kid was remarkably brave and tough!


Bless his heart. This makes me tear up. What a big & brave little boy. I can still remember when I had this done 25 years ago. Yulk. I am itching just looking at our little muskrat. Love you all. NiNi
ReplyDeleteWhat a BRAVE guy!!!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe he is allergic to all of that! So he is just allergic to peanuts but not pecans or almonds? I wonder if local honey would help or hinder the situation. Belinda
