Once again......

It's been a long time since my last entry. Last week, Jacob got his allergy testing done. There were about 50 pokes to his little arm. Since he is allergic to the numbing cream they normally put on, he did great without it! He never felt the pokes or much of the allergens. He did itch a bit. The last 10 or so allergens were not as painfree. They would burn, but he was great!
He ended up being allergy to everything they tested for except for cottonwood tree. His high ones were dog and cat. No wonder he always looks so horrible all the time. He won't be getting the shots, but the oral drops that go under your tongue. Since they aren't FDA approved yet--insurance won't pay.
Even if we got rid of all the animals, that animal dander can live in a house for years.

Well, I guess that answers the question on whether you're getting rid of you dogs and cats. LOL

Mom thinks those drops work great. I think K should look into them for Justan--his allergies are the outside things like grasses AND the cats. And horses.

Come say hi sometime...on my blog.
