Testing Time Again...

No, not belt testing, allergy testing!!!! I've been putting it off but I really needed to get it done, Jalyn's eczema acts up more now like when he was a baby so I wanted to see what was going on.
This time was MUCH better than the other times we've had it done. Neither of them used numbing cream and until the blood work part there were no tears. Now the blood work part was pretty rough but at least it was the shortest part of the whole day.
I PROMISE we feed the boy!!!

This is first time w/o the numbing cream, he was AWESOME!

This is Jon Michael's itchy dance.
They each had their moment they thought they just wouldn't be able to handle it anymore!

Poor Jalyn, laying on his arms so he wouldn't be tempted to scratch.
We won't have any definite results for a week, after the blood work comes back. Jalyn still tested positive for milk, and a LOTS of what I call "hay fever" allergens...he basically looks like my test results, high on trees, grass, pollen, dust mites, weeds, etc.... Although Jon Michael is the one who they always see his eyes and say, "Look at this text book case of allergic signs", tested positive to nothing on his back as far as "hay fever" allergens. He had a few little reactions to some foods but not milk, but the blood work will tell us if that's true or not and what others reacted this time. Its always an interesting day when its time to test but its so much better knowing whats going on with their bodies!!! Let you know what happens with the blood work in a week or so.

Oh I hate this for your boys. I hated it when Parker went through it and I praise God she is allergy free today!
