Logan's Allergy Testing, Eary Childhood Session #80












This morning Hailey had one of her last sessions with her teacher.

This afternoon, while waiting in the lobby for Logan's allergy testing, Christine got him to say "chair." Christine was feeling good enough to go to this which was nice since the appointment was with her allergist.

Sixteen pricks in his back tested for 15 common allergens. The final prick was a control sample. He cried during the skin pricks but calmed down quickly. I then had to keep him from touching his back for fifteen minutes. During the last few minutes he started to get upset about his lack of freedom of movement.

It became obvious pretty quickly that Sample 9 and 16 reacted but we had not been told what each number was testing. It turned out that 9 equaled peanuts and 16 was the control group. Logan is allergic to peanuts but not to tree nuts or grasses, birch trees, dust mites, etc.
