Allergist, Round 1

8.13.2010

Every August we go see Dr. Hendershot, Hallie's allergist, at least once, and hopefully twice. This was her first appointment this year. He just does a general check, tests any allergens that need to be done, and runs blood work to see if she is ready for a food challenge. So it is always an anticipated visit for me.

Dr. Hendershot's office is in Salt Lake, but he is in Sandy one morning a week. So we try to make it there instead. but that means an early morning for this little girl. But luckily she was pretty happy.
But she was tired when we got there.
Here are her latest scratch tests. No allergy to eggs! Just peanut left!
Hallie playing waiting for results from her scratch test. She did so good.
Until they had to draw blood. Then she was NOT happy! But they had to draw blood to confirm she was ready to do an egg food challenge, which she was.
"Mommy, it hurts," she kept telling me in a voice that would break your heart.
So we went to IKEA and had lunch. :)
Doesn't take much of an excuse for me to stop though.
Hallie had pasta with marinara sauce, and it was messy!
But we were happy to have good news.
