Well, the day has arrived that all 3 of my children have had to take a nebulizer treatment. I am not so sure why Sammie turned this avenue, but last night she was starting to wheeze. Today we had her annual allergist appointment so he heard the wheezing. He didn't like it so therefore she got the duck medicine twice today. She was a champ with it! Now back to the allergist appointment. We have broke down and gotten the epi pen. I have been anti epi pen mostly I think because I have nto wanted to admit that her food allergies were that bad to have one. Actually, she is really just left with the peanut one. I know that is a major life threatening one, however I don't believe that hers is that bad. Anyway, the Dr. about passed out when I said we've gone to Texas Roadhouse with her. I did notice that the last time we went she left a bit more sneezey then before. SoI was going to think twice and pay closer attention the next time we went. So we shall see how that goes. I talked to him about her daily zyrtek/sleep issues. As he listened he also thinks that is could be the tonsils and adnoids. He also thinks that we might beable to stop the daily zytrek if she has surgery. He said that sometimes the tonsils and adnoids block the proper drainage so it all leaks out the nose. He also said that the zyrtek will dry it all up no matter if it is allergy related~which i guess is why it works better than clariton. So if she has surgery(all pending on sleep study results~hoping to get soon) he said to stop it and see if it was anatomy causing the drainage or if it continues we know it is allergy causing the drainage. He offered a blood test, but him and I both decided not to do it. All it would find is what she is really allregic to. However, we felt it wasn't necessary at this time. As for the strawberries and egg allergy. She had outgrown the strawberry allergy last year and since has had no problems. The egg I still think is a topical allergy~where ever it touches her skin, she'll get a rach that goes away. She can eat foods containing eggs, but he said to stay away from eggs themself. Which works out fine since she doesn't like to eat them. The appointment for her skin/ecezma~fine. I am doing a good job treating it he said. So in a year we will see him again and hopefully by then we will not be taking daily zyrtek
