Yesterday, in the midst of a double-ear infection, Luca had allergy skin testing. We were hoping to get some answers about which antibiotics he ISN'T allergic to, since he had reactions to many in the past. However, we couldn't test for the antibiotics yesterday - those tests have to be done in the hospital!
Anyway, we did get some good news - Luca's not allergic to some foods that we were suspicious of. We have more tests to go, but I was very pleased with the results, and with Luca's great behavior for the tests! He was a trooper, and he never even flinched!
As far as his ear infection goes, he is pretty sick and has a fever. The doctors came up with a plan to treat him, and so far, no reactions! We just pray that our little boy can heal, now.
This is a picture of his back a few minutes after the prick testing. He then got a reward for doing such a great job! - M&Ms!
When it was over, I was more relieved than anyone - these were much better than the allergy tests I had 20+ years ago!
I couldn't wait to give my big boy a hug!
Luca couldn't wait to dive in the fountain outside of the office!

Okay, first of all NO FAIR that YOUR son's allergist has a beautiful foutain outside... AND you are wearing NO COAT! It is so bad here with the snow... when are we ALL moving to NC? We are coming too, I swear!
I hope that you get the answers from the testing. I was so happy once I knew what was going on with Alli. It makes helping them so much easier! Take care - miss you!
