Allergy Test for Landrie...

Today I had to take Landrie for her allergy press test, umm yeah, that was NOT fun. My poor baby was tested for 40 things both inside and outside, she tested positive for EVERY SINGLE outside allergy, all kinds of grasses, trees and weeds. Worst part was when the area was welting up because it was positive it would itch ...and burn and she couldn't scratch or move her arm. Glad it's over and that we have some answers. But I was pretty upset with the nurse who told both Landrie and I that the test wouldn't hurt. Every part of the test hurt my poor baby, the scratch/press part, it's like having your arm scraped over and over and then when you are allergic to something it starts to itch and or burn and you can't do a thing. :( But at least now we know her chronic cough she had wasn't just an annoying learned habit. She is going to start taking Singular and Xyzal at night to help with her allergies, I sure hope it helps. Next is blood work to test for the allergies the scratch test doesn't like foods and insects. Not looking forward to that test! We are pretty sure she has an allergy to mosquitoes and bees but not sure about foods since she never seems to have a reaction to anything. Should be interesting to see what shows up. Funny thing is the nurse told us that the bumps where she tested positive for the allergy would go away within the hour, but these pics were taken about 2-3 hours after the test, just goes to show how allergic she is to all the outside things. Our poor baby has been suffering and we had no clue! :(

Despite the bad memories from the test earlier that day, she sure was in a good mood to post for pics. I just love that baby! :)






These are from bath time the next night, I love taking pics of her in the bath, she loves to play and pose, it's so funny.
