Allergist

Thursday July 25, 2013

Nicholas went to the allergist today. He needs to have another skin test for his peanut/tree nut allergies. His first skin test was positive at a +3 while his blood test level was very low. The dr said the skin test is more sensitive. He will have that and if it is negative he will have the oral challenge. He is not looking forward to any of the tests. He was so cute at his appointment. I really didn't need to talk because he voiced all his concerns and wanted to know what was next. He was very curios as to why one test was positive and one was negative. He told them he was not too happy about the blood test because "the needle was in his arm for like 12 minutes" He also told them that he would rather eat a peanut product instead of plain peanuts. He makes me laugh. I am hoping that he doesn't make a huge deal out of the skin test again. He can be quite dramatic!
