Allergies Schmelergies
So Little Man had a bunch of bloodwork done last week. I was hoping that we would find out if he has allergies and what he is allergic to. Anyone that knows me knows how much I want a pet but AM and I agreed that we shouldn't get anything until we knew how it would effect WM.
The good news is at this point, he isn't allergic to anything in particular. The bad news is he definately has allergies, but the Dr. said it is too early to say what he is allergic to. We won't know anything specific until after he turns 5. I guess it is a good thing that he didn't test positive for certain things, I just wish I knew what his triggers were.
So for the next 2.5 years we will have to keep a close eye on him to see if he reacts to anything. The next time he becomes wheezy I have to bring him in and they will prescribe him a nebulizer since he will be more prone to asthma because of it.
I am happy my little boy is ok, but majorly bummed that there will be no fur babies for me in the near future (if at all).
Everyone keep your fingers crossed that he sleeps tonight. I don't know what was going on with him, but he refused to go to sleep. He was up until past 9 (he was in bed at 8 pm) playing and then cried off and on until 11 pm, with shourt bouts of crying throughout the night. Mommy is not a happy person when she doesn't get sleep.

Bullshit. Both of my kids are well under 5 and we've known for a few YEARS what their allergies are. Specific food and environmental allergies. Sorry. It makes me mad when Doctors do that.
Find a good allergist at a Children's Hospital. All of my children were seen early and diagnosed well before 5.
Sorry that you are going through this. It really stinks.
