Saturday we were called into the allergists office to discover Ethan is allergic to everything except the dogs. He is allergic to eggs, peanuts, wheat, milk, and soy so far. His overall Ige level was 319- normal for his age is below 20. The allergist advised us to put him in a bubble. In all seriousness we now have to really monitor his foods and spent time over the weekend at the specialty foods stores finding reduced allergen food. The poor little guy now has an epinephrine pen that travels with him "just in case". Most importantly he is still growing, smiling, and laughing.
After the allergists office, we went to the bar. Seriously. We took Ethan to lunch and had such a great time. He was such a good boy that when we went to leave the couple sitting behind us complimented how good he was. Patrick told her he was on baby Benedryl- I could have killed him. Then we walked downtown in the neighboring town and visited the local toy store. Ethan loves playing cars, he needed a new one.
Monday was a lazy day. We walked downtown Larchmont, to the pharmacy and to the grocery store. We just relaxed together and played. Ethan loves to play with his dogs-thankfully they love him too.
Now it is back to work and we are all sick again. Happy Tuesday!
