allergy update

Binbin had his annual round of allergy testing yesterday. He's much more aware of those prickly needles on his back and not at all happy about the itchy discomfort that must be endured for 15 minutes, but all in all, he was very brave.

It looks like he is definitely *not* allergic to melons or corn...hurray! And, he seems to have outgrown his allergy to oats. Cheerios...here we come.

The egg yolk allergy and the soy allergy may not be quite as severe, but we await more results from blood testing.

This morning, I took him to the lab to have blood drawn for confirming the skin test results. And again, he was not too happy about that needle going into his arm. He cried and wimpered, and seemed terribly injured. But by the time we headed back to the car, he told me it didn't hurt, and he quietly studied the two spider-man stickers the phlebotomist gave to him as a reward.
