More Testing

We went back to the local allergist/immunologist for further testing, on the ENTs reccomendation. Owen had another baby patch SPT (skin prick test) & he tested positive for....CAT! Of all things to test positive for, the one thing we have! But, I think it is a huge victory b/c he FINALLY tested POSITIVE to SOMETHING!!! This is a big step for us! Perhaps the exposure to Boo is what has been making him sick all this time. Owen has actually had many parts of his immune system studied b/f, but there are several parts that needed to be tested to complete the work-up. Have you ever tried to take a 2.5 year old who just had a SPT to the lab for bloodwork? Not easy! We started 4 new meds to see if they can get his symptoms under control. He is now on Singulair, Symbicort, Veramyst & Zyrtec, we will see if this does the trick!
