She is allergic to all 3 molds (outside, inside and mixed), dust mites, grass, cats, dogs & cockroaches (yeah I did not even know they tested for that) She was not tested for everything but these were the seasonal ones!. He is quite sure she will be allergic to tree pollen she just has not had enough exposure yet. Thankfully she is not allergic to any foods!
So treatment for these right now NO SHOTS!!! YEAH FOR THAT! Right now we will use Zyrtec and Loratadine there is 1 more we are holding off on because it can make her hyper! He said to wait and try the other two first. We go back in Nov. for a check to see how she is doing with the medicines as needed.
All in all she did great and of course they fell in love with her. Dr. Guin said hold on to her because our nurse wanted to take her home and she was so sad she had to be the one to do the shots, she did not want Izzie upset with her.

Well looks like we will be right there with you all! Henry is going to the allergist and having the scratch test done the middle of the month. I am dreading it, however if he has to have it done and if it will help than I guess we have too. Looks like Izzie did well. What a relief no food allergies (they are NO fun at all). Hope that you all have a great weekend
Oh my! That test looks familiar-poor Izzie. I'm so proud of her for being a big girl!
I'm sorry for all of the allergies, but thankful you now know what they are.
I hope those 2 meds work for her-thanks for the update!
Poor Izzie! I'm sure glad that's over with! Hope her welps go down soon, and glad it wasn't too traumatic for her. The only memories I have of allergy testing are bad ones!
I have been through the allergy testing with my kids and it is not fun! Last fall Kelsey had to get retested on allergies and learned she is allergic to cats. Thankfully, no dogs (because of Brownie) They gave her 42 sticks. She takes allergy shots every week plus Loradadine. Austin shots are down to once every 3 weeks.
Poor Izzie! I am glad she did so well though! At least now you will be able to get her on medicine to make her better, it will probably help with the ear infections too!
Poor thing. She is a big girl and looks like she recovered well. I took Savannah around 9 months and they only did the test on her arm. She screamed for a short time. Her allergies are bad so she has been on singular, zyrtec then back to singular. They suggested we do allergy shots 3 times a week but at such a young age I choose not too. She is 2 1/2and still runny, sneezing and her poor little eyes run all the time. Next follow up I am sure they will be doing all the other test. YIKES!!! Hope her medicine works!
Poor baby!!! Ok where did she get all that hair!!! I'm behind on ckecking blogs. WOW!! Again we need to get together.
