On Wednesday I took Landon to the allergist. I have been wanting to take him for awhile just to check on shellfish, tree nuts, and peanuts. After having a child actually have a reaction to food, I was not going to just risk it. Sweet man was such a trooper! So thankful for this numbing cream so the kids don't feel any of the prickers!
Landon didn't flinch when they did the prickers...it was awesome. I really thought all would come back fine. I knew I was being crazy taking him. I knew it. WELL...I was wrong. Guess what he had a reaction to...peanuts. Just like Reagan, however his wasn't quite as big as Reagan's.
we started happy...
then I talked to the doctor...
my heart just broke...
And Landon caught it all taking selfies :) I had to take him for bloodwork that afternoon, which was not nearly as easy as the pricks, poor guy. He totally got a new train as his special treat for that one! We are waiting to hear back about the bloodwork, which will let us know how severe his peanut allergy is. We are just so shocked. I have never worried about what Landon eats, I have never flat out given him peanuts, but I just assumed he was fine because when he was 10 months old we had him tested and he was fine. Ugh. I just hate it. So now we wait and see. Looking for the positive...I'm so used to a peanut allergy, that it's not like it's a big change. It's just now two to worry about and not just Reagan!
