Over the past 3 months Connor has had two allergic reactions that made him break out in a rash and hives, one being his birthday party. At his 1 year Dr. appointment I mentioned them to the Doctor and he thought it would be a good idea to see an allergist. So yesterday was our appt. with an allergist at Children's Hospital, Connor did very well considering we were there for almost 2 hours! Grandma Milewski came along to help:) They did a scratch test on him and within 20 minutes we could see exactly what he is allergic to. And the winner is...............EGGS!! Yup, Connor is severly allergic to eggs to the point where we have to carry an EpiPen just in case Connor would ever have an episode of Anaphylaxis. Here I thought it was hard finding things that he would eat normally, now it's going to be a 100x harder!!
We had another shocker... I thought for sure that he was allergic to dogs just due to his first allergic reaction (we love you Barkley!) but no, it was CATS!! The Dr. thinks it would be a good idea if we got rid of our cats. Yeah easier said then done... of course Connor is our first priority but Harley and Daisy are a part of our family too. We haven't decided what to do about that yet and will hold off for now to concentrate on the more severe allergy.
