CTM- ok ok MoonCharm

[Stringy]

I just got used to using an acronym for you.

Did you get results from A's allergy testing? Did I miss them?

[ovenrack]

I like just Charm. She's so charming.

And yes, let us know how it went...

[flumma]

Maybe we should just keep all the acronyms the same, just to confuse any noobs.

Sorry, double post.

[flumma]

Sorry, triple post.

Its kinda like I'm gonna keep calling Stoney - Stoney. And MK, of course. They can figure it out. Or not.

Whoa, it hadn't occurred to me to not call Stoney Stoney.

[ovenrack]

I'll call her Engelbert, or Grumpy, but mostly because I find those very funny. HEY GRUMPY, turn that frown upside down! And Engelbert, because I heart Eddie Izzard.

[rrrrrachel]

I like calling her grumpy.

[grumpycakes]

I'll also respond to Humper, Dinck or Slut Bunwalla.

So what do we say when we bump things up?

Yes.  It is still bump.

[Stringy]

Well then.

[ovenrack]

[grumpycakes]

Nope. Probe.

Hey Stringy! I hate that I miss things on mobile so much! I just saw this as I was heading to bed.

The allergy testing was kind of a bummer. We just re-tested egg and peanut to see if we could allow A to have baked egg. (and peanut because I was curious, since the 2nd round of blood tests came back negative). I'm eating baked egg successfully as of 1-2 mos ago, so I felt pretty optimistic that we'd be able to have A try it. He had tested negative for the baked egg on the blood test, but still positive for regular egg, so they said they'd do a skin test, and see how it looked, and we could think about a challenge in the office. But unfortunately, the levels on the skin test are still too high to be able to try it safely. And I think he was a little overly optimistic about the age, because he said the nurses didn't want to do the challenge until closer to age 2, and it seemed like that had slipped his mind, since he said he just found out that day. And he's not letting us go anywhere near nuts before age 3, it seems.

And it was kind of disheartening hearing him say how A was at a high risk of anaphylaxis given his significant hives with minimal skin contact with milk. So that freaked me out, when I keep trying to tell myself that it's all going to be okay, and he'll probably outgrow it. I mean, it's all still true, but it just feels so much sadder having him say that.

Thanks for checking in!

Oh bummer mooncharm. I know what you mean about being very optimistic and now disappointed. We just want our kids to not have to deal with these types of struggles. Sending big hugs your way. You're doing a great job dealing with all of this. Hang in there.

[Stringy]

Yea - everything TJ said. I can't imagine hearing about the anaphylaxis, even though it wasn't new to you. Big hugs.

[SAK]

Just hugs from someone who understands.

[mooncharm]

Thank you ladies! It never ceases to amaze me how supportive this community is. My husband couldn't quite understand why this bugged me!
