My poor baby has some major allergies. We were pretty certain, but after seeing the Allergy and Asthma specialist he wanted to confirm with testing. I am so glad Adam went with us. Michael is so strong, I don't think I could have held him down and still as well as Daddy did. The nurse said that Michael is the strongest child she has ever had to do the allergy testing on. Michael screamed the whole time. :( Even if the doctor or nurse came in just to talk, as soon as they opened the door Michael would yell, "No, No!" Thankfully, kids are resilient and bounce back quickly!
Michael has a severe allergy to peanuts and is also allergic to egg whites, sesame seeds and ash trees. We just happen to have a HUGE ash tree in our back yard (sigh)! We carry two Epi-Pens and Benadryl with us at all times. Michael can have food items with egg whites in them, just not as the main ingredient (omelets, french toast, pie meringue, etc...).

Poor baby! My youngest has a ton of allergies too. It seems scary and overwhelming at first, but once you get used to it, it will be second nature to you and you won't even remember what it was like pre-allergies. :)
