"Just Say No" to Peanuts and Eggs

We found out the hard way that Charlie is allergic to Peanuts, so we went to the allergist this week to test for other things. Charlie is also allergic to eggs, so now I am learning how to change his diet and keep him safe from these allergic reactions.


Here are some photos from the skin test yesterday. If you look close in the picture of Charlie's back, the top right shows a D, representing dairy. The numbers 2 and 3 swelled up which indicated that he is allergic to egg yolk and egg white. Haley came along to support her brother and keep him occupied while we waited for the results of his test. We will find out more in a week from the blood test.
