Allergy testing!

Harry had his appointment today at the Northwest Asthma and Allergy center. Talk about fun...NOT! trying to explain to him that this won't hurt like a shot and that it needs to be done so we can see if he's allergic to anything, not easy! Finally we got through to him with what worked. He wanted to see it, which I was a little worried about, but doing it on his back was stressing him out because he couldn't see it. so the arm it was. He now shows off a beautifully inked arm.

It was hard explaining to him today what was going on, he was very anxious as anyone would be, but was not wanting to listen to us. Its funny because he really does get it, you tell him not to scratch his arm and he won't do it. Even 3hrs later when we tell him its ok to touch he still won't touch it.

Anyway, his allergy testing came back negative. He was tested for all the perenial allergans in this area like dust, cat, dog, mold as well as some seasonal, Alder and Cottonwood trees.
Everything came back clear. Which I guess is good. Still no answer though as to why he has this horrible postnasal drip? At least we can now tick this off of our list of tests for him.

Now to do some food elimination testing at home to see if we can figure out if there is anything there acting as a trigger for the sinus and ADHD.
