Do you feel lucky?

WE DON'T!

Makayla had her allergy appointment with Dr. Ruddell today. I really had hoped that something horrible had happened down in the lab, and we had somehow been given some other poor child's allergy test results. No such luck. Actually, we would have been quite lucky to have only had the 4 original allergies, but guess what! We were not lucky today. We have 3 more allergies to add to our list equaling a grand total of 7. You read that right. I said seven. Here is our updated list from highest severity.

• peanuts
• milk
• eggs
• soy
• cashews
• beef
• pork

Good thing that Makayla is a self proclaimed vegetarian, or we might have a situation on our hands.

We did manage to get some good news today. People can often test positive for a soy allergy when they have a severe peanut allergy which Makayla has. The allergist told us to try to introduce soy milk to test Makayla's tolerance to soy in hopes that it was a false positive due to the peanuts. We hope that it was, or we might have to use one of our super expensive epi-pens because I just gave her some soy milk. We definitely don't want to have to do that, but it works through jeans and all clothes just in case you were wondering. We have a couple of trainers to practice. I guess that it is best to be prepared. Now I have to prepare everyone else on the planet.
