Julia had an appointment at the allergist today. The appointment was fine. She is still highly allergic to eggs; possibly less allergic to egg yolks but since it’s pretty difficult to have egg yolk with no egg white he suggests continuing to keep all eggs and everything containing eggs out of her diet. That’s fine with us as it’s the easiest thing to do at this point. He also wanted her to have some blood work done so he could test her allergy to a couple of specific proteins within the egg and also see if her allergy is continuing to increase or if it has leveled off. So after we saw the doctor we went to the lab so they could draw blood.
Julia sat on my lap for the draw and was completely calm, cool, and collected through the entire thing. She didn’t even flinch when she saw the needle or when they inserted it. She watched the whole thing and acted like an old pro. I was very impressed!
We’re off tomorrow for our summer vacation in Maine. We’re looking forward to swimming in the lake, jumping off the dock, eating lobster, and seeing Andrew’s family. I’m sure we’ll have lots of stories and pictures when we return!
