Holding Out Hope for Next Year

We finally got E to the allergist for his oral test for dairy, and the verdict is: still allergic. BAH!

He had one teaspoon and refused to have another one. When we tried to get him to drink two teaspoons, he spat out the milk, and where it got on his skin, little red bumps appeared. I guess pizza and real ice cream are all out for another year. The good news is he didn't have any anaphylactic reaction to the milk, so if he gets a little cross-contamination, it isn't a serious threat.

We will be scheduling an oral test for egg within the next few weeks. Hopefully he has better luck with the eggs. Wish us luck!
