We saw the allergen
specialist last week and discovered Eli has further allergies. Not only is he
allergic to cows milk and eggs but also to wheat, nuts, soy and seafood. So basically
he can’t eat anything … well that’s what it seems like. He’s on special formula
which you can only buy with a script and he’s also seeing a dietician to assist
in an eating plan.
Admittedly since
last week his condition has cleared, he’s in a much better mood and I can see
he is growing.
This morning
I get a voice mail however advising me that his blood tests have come in and
the doctor wants us to come into the office to discuss. When I spoke to the
doctor I wanted to know how bad it was – I’m not waiting until this afternoon
to know this information? Basically blood work came back with relatively high results
to all allergies meaning if he was exposed to any of these proteins he may
suffer from an epileptic shock. She talked about potentially have adrenalin
(epi-pen) available for him as a precaution.
Poor Eli, he just
want to be extra special (and expensive).
