I had a few people ask to be updated on Andrew's appt so here it is....
We went to see the allergist this morning and he did great!
This was his back a little while after he had an antihistamine so it had started to go down a bit, but you get the idea. I actually thought and remarked that (except for the nasty guy on the bottom left) that it looked pretty good. The allergist said that he is "quite allergic considering his age." That it will continue to worsen as he gets older, so shots will probably be in his future, but we'll just try to control things with medicine as long as possible.
The nasty one is wheat pollen. I asked if that means WSU in the Palouse is out of the question. :) He said Eugene (U of O) is out of the running. :)
He actually had a small dog allergy which was disappointing, but we'll see about that in the future....
This will help though with knowing how to time his meds, and it was good to see no mold or dust mite allergy, so he really is just a seasonal guy. So that's great! The top right were grasses, which we already strongly suspected.
He was especially happy with his 10 am milkshake on our way to get his siblings.
Thanks to Shannon for keeping the kids this week for our appointments!
What would we do without friends? :)

This brings back many memories. I got an ice cream cone.:-) Memory of going to get shots and brother Jim having to be cornered to get his. We both eventually gave ourselves shots.
Me too, Jeannie! I remember spending lots of time in the waiting room as a child while my Mom got her shots...then eventually me...I'm kind of hoping to see if any of the other kids need them so we can just do them at once! It's such a time commitment! And our allergist is a 25minute drive, so that doesn't help. But he's great.
Poor littl guy! I'm sure the milkshake helped to cheer him up. I had to go through that {again} a few years ago ~ so not fun!

Always happy to have the little loves!! Glad to know too that there wasn't anything more than what we had already suspected. He has been a trooper this week...two dr appts.
