Allergy Testing

Matthew went through his final phase of allergy testing last week. 36 scratches on the lower arms and 30+ needle pricks on the upper arms. Poor baby. At least we were able to wrap his arms with numbing cream and saran wrap for 2 hours before hand to help with the pain. He though he looked a bit like a mummy-hence the goofy face. Turns out he is officially allergic to EVERY SINGLE tree and all but a couple weeds, most grasses and dust mites. There are very mild mold allergies too. Eh is not allergic to any foods or pet dander though! The allergist was quite impressed with his "positive at first glance"reaction to EVERY SINGLE PRICK! Including the saline solution! Poor kid has sensitive skin like his mama. Today we begin allergy shots-3 at a time, every week. I have a feeling I am not going to be his favorite person today!
