A little poke!


UPDATE: The Results are IN!!! Jameson is allergic to Peanut and Eggs. The doctor said on a scale from 0-5, 5 being the worst, he was a 3 on both. Basically, we need to avoid these 2 things b/c it could be very risky to try them. He will be re-checked when he is 4 years old to see if there has been any change.

My poor little baby got his blood drawn today to check and see if he has a true peanut allergy. A while back we fed him a PB&J and he had a bad reaction. His lips swelled up and he got hives all over. From that point on we have just stayed completly away from all peanut products with him. When we took Jameson in for his 2 year check-up I mentioned it to his doctor and he said it was very important for us to find out for sure if he had an allergy to peanuts b/c the reaction to it can be different each and every time he is exposed and it can be very serious. So...we postponed it for a while and I finally broke down before the order expired and got his little arm poked. He did really well, and only cried a bit. He got a really cool wrap for his arm and a sticker. He is pretty fussy now so I know he is still kind of upset about the whole thing. They said we would have to wait about 10-12 days for the results. I will keep you posted!
