Late Post - Sorry

So very sorry for the late post.  It has just been a crazy weekend and now the kids are back in school and we are back in a routine from our (their) 4 day weekend.

Now for the followup OIT, she did great.  Of course super nervous, but handled it so well.  The doctor came in and examined her, she of course looked at him like he had a frog on his head.  Still not a fan of men!  Fine with me.  He said everything seemed good.  He said, "ok, you've been on 2ml for the week, it's time to bump it to 4ml."  No, she reacted to the 2ml she was bumped DOWN to 1ml for the week.  There's no way we are already moving to 4ml.  Her chart noted it.  He apologized a lot, several several times.  And said over and over how he didn't know how it happened and would get to the bottom of it.  Thankful me and Adam were both paying attention.  Could have made for a much longer trip.

At the correct dose her ears started bothering her, throat itched, cheeks turned red......sweet.  Doctor was not concerned, as long as she could tolerate the discomfort.  That's what I LOVE, they do not freak out there.  They take it all in stride and help me to breathe.  

We are now on day 4 of the 2ml and seem to be doing great.  I'm going to ask the doctor, but she seems to get really hyper about 10-15 min after taking it.  Not sure if that is connected or not.

Asked about her new class 2 Hazelnut allergy.  He said since she's been eating it, he didn't see a need to take her off of it.  Well, me being the well educated physician that I am, I am taking her off of Nutella myself.  The Chocolate Soy butter came in last night.  I'm going to sneak that in for the week and see if that will clean up her eczema.  If it does yay - if not, we haven't lost anything. 

We are skipping this week and giving her a full 2 weeks on this dose before we go back.  Probably we will go to the 4ml, I want her body to have plenty of time to adjust.

Side note, the allergist is on the same floor as the pediatrician.  We get off the elevator and look at the ped office.  Have to walk past the sick kids, breathing their sick air, to get to our room.  I am looking forward to skipping that part for a week.  And there's a giant whale downstairs that the kids discovered and think it's the most fun thing ever.  Climbing all over, on the floor, etc.  i was disgusted.  How did i give birth to children who would roll on a hospital floor and play with hospital toys.  i just just ready to scream!!  GROSS!!!!  Flu would be the best case scenario.

Anyway, thank you for reading, and praying.
