That's our headline news following Liam's allergy testing yesterday afternoon.
After getting the results from River's allergy testing last week, I assumed that Liam wouldn't have a milk allergy either. He doesn't.
But he is allergic to a number of external allergens, including:
Cats
Dogs
Birds
Surprised? So am I.
The good news is that the allergies don't appear severe enough to warrant finding new homes for our pets, but the doctor thinks this explains Liam's chronic night-time coughing. She suggested that we keep the animals from Liam's room, wash his hands well after he plays with them, and that we also give a daily antihistamine.
As far as milk goes, she did think that Liam also has a milk intolerance, and she recommended we eliminate milk from his diet for the next year.
So, these temporary diet changes we've been making are here to stay. At least for a little while.
