meh...

[catelyn]

Well we had our appt today.  Meh.  Same old.  So much for any hope of her outgrowing this and no point in challenging it either.  I guess I'm here for the long haul.  Ragweed was a big + this time and I don't remember it from the past.

Sigh.  This new allergist was VERY nice and seemed up on things which is good.  Apparently peach allergy is a big problem in Spain and Italy and is their equivalent of peanut.  She even asked if we had lived there which I thought was interesting.

Meh is right... hope her arm feels better now!

Glad that you like the new allergist, though.

THIS time I had the forethought to take some benedryl with me so I gave her some when we left.  She came home and slept for 3 hours.  It looks a lot better now.  She is up stairs playing barbies with her bro which is a good sigh. 

Meh.  I should have had her test walnuts because they are local unlike all the other tree nuts.  I TOTALLY forgot.  And I wanted to ask about the damn shampoo but forgot.  Ho hum.

Ooooh, I'm itching just looking at that photo.  Poor Helga, so uncomfortable.

Sorry it wasn't better news. 

[catelyn]

Luckily I just held my hope and didn't say anything to her.  She is a pretty matter of fact kind of gal which is good.

I just come here and unload

Glad that the allergist was a good one and up on the latest.

Interesting about peach allergy.

[catelyn]

Thanks for thinking about us.  At least I got a new epi script  out of all of this.

The birch and the ragweed have puffed back up again tonight.  I might drug her again before bed.

[Mfamom]

Oh wow.  Her poor ARM!! 
We also had ds retested in late sept when he got his asthma checkup.  Still huge 17mm pn wheal. 

[catelyn]

Its still really angry looking today in a couple of spots.  Ugh.

Topical benadryl is awesome.  (Just noting.  From relatively recent experience, I might add... we kept some on DD's arm for about four days-- it really limited the extent of the eczema flare.)
