As if mealtime isn't hard enough, we now know a little more about Sophie's allergies. She has less of them but they are the opposite of Sebastian's. I kid you not.
She was tested today and scored negative on soy, nuts, peanuts and shellfish. But she still scored positive on egg and milk. On a good note, the milk reaction was only middling and the dr says positive skin tests are only 50-50; given that she did scarfe back that 1/4 chocolate bar 8 months ago and she no longer breaks out into one big hive if she touches milk, he suggests that we buy another epi-pen and then challenge her on milk at home as soon as we summon up the courage.
So no eggy waffles for awhile longer, though the specialist is still hopeful she may out grow that too, like her bro. But we can live with that. We have become pretty good at egg free baking and we still have these question marks with Seb and egg anyway.
Sebastian took the news as mixed. He seems a little confused that his baby sister can eat peanuts (at least in theory) and of course, he wants to know right now if she can have milk.
Given that our camping trip has been postponed due to heavy rain forecasts, we may as well challenge our poppet on milk this weekend. So if anyone wants to come along for the experience, we are meeting at the Sick Kids car park at 10 on Saturday (that way we can dash into ER if need be!).
Oh, and I actually had air in my lungs as I left the doctor's office. He was nice enough and spoke slowly enough and was clear in his communication. I hope Seb can see him too.
