Dalton's Allergy Appointment

Today was Dalton's allergy specialist appointment and I expected the worst everyone is always telling these horror story's about kids being taken to these specialist and being stuck with all of these needles and so naturally I was worried. My experience was a breeze compared to everything I had heard all they did was the usual weight and height check then waiting in a room till the Doctor comes in then talking with the Doctor then the nurse comes in and explains what she was going to do. This is all they do they take a marker and mark their back in several places then take a needle with the allergen on it and lightly scratch their back with the needle, there were seven allergy test and one control in the toddler panel that Dalton went through, the little man did not even flinch he actually keep trying to turn around to smile at the nurse. He did not even shed a tear. So, if anyone and their children have to go through any allergy test don't sweat it or stress over it just treat it like an extra check up and go on with the daily life. Dalton tested negative on all the test on the toddler allergy panel. We do not have to go back unless we notice more rashes and breakouts during specific activities or food introductions. We still do not know if he is allergic to flea bites like his Dad yet. But we will be finding out one way or another as soon as possible. So that was our Mother and Son day.
