Andrew's allergies

Andrew had an allergy appointment today, and the results weren't great, but I really, really like the new allergist we saw. Hopefully we can see him from now on.

We re-tested him for eggs, soy, and peanuts - and he still reacted to all three.

His peanut reaction got worse, much worse than last time. It was about 7 centimeters in diameter, with small welts, while last time it was smaller with one big welt.

The egg and soy reactions were less than last time, but still enough that we are going to avoid them for another year and re-test again at that time.

His skin is looking much better, and since our kitty went to live with my parents his eyes and nose are 100% clear, so that's definitely an improvement from where we were at a year ago.

It was kind of scary seeing that peanut reaction, it concerns me that it got worse. We're lucky his preschool is supportive of being peanut free. There's no way we can expect them to be soy-free, it's just in too much stuff, so we'll provide his snack every day.

Here are pictures of his back during the allergy testing.
