Allergy Testing

12-29-08
As the year came to an end we did a lot of end of the year check-ups. Dental appts., eye appts. and finally allergy testing. J was tested first and is allergic to 59 of the 60 allergens she was tested for. We knew she had allergies but now we can start her on allergy shots. A week later we took the 2 boys. The both reacted pretty severely to many but not all of the allergens.
Here you can see how badly they reacted.


Gameboy helped keep their minds off the itching as they waited for the final test results.

They, too, have started allergy shots and we are praying this will help them not only ease their allergies but that it will also keep their asthma from being triggered. The doctors are very optimistic and encouraging.
