WHAT A DAY......
THESE WERE FROM OUR VERY LONG DAY AT THE ALLERGY/ASTHMA DOCTOR. WE WENT IN TO DO AUSTIN'S ALLERGY TESTING FOR ENVIRONMENTAL AND FOOD ALLERGIES TO SEE IF THAT WAS CAUSING HIS EOSINPHILIC ESOPHAGITIS DISEASE, BUT THEY WERE ALL NEGATIVE. HE DID SO GOOD AND ONLY TEARED UP WITH THE LAST TWO SCRAPES. IF YOU HAVE NEVER SEEN THIS DONE, BE THANKFUL. IT IS PITIFUL TO WATCH, BUT HE DID AWESOME. WE CHANGED UP HIS MEDICINE AND HE WILL HAVE TO BE RE-SCOPED IN A FEW MONTHS TO SEE IF THIS NEW MEDICINE IS HELPING ANY. I HATE THIS FOR HIM,BUT IT DOES NOT EVEN PHASE HIM. HE IS SUCH A STRONG LITTLE BOY AND SO USED TO DOCTORS AND NURSES POKING ON HIM ALL THE TIME.
WHILE WE WERE THERE WE MENTIONED AIDEN AND HIS BREATHING ISSUES. HE HAS NEVER TECHNICALLY BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH ASTHMA, BUT WE END UP IN THE EMERGENCY ROOM OR DOCTOR'S OFFICE A LOT FOR BREATHING TREATMENTS AND STEROIDS. HE WAS HAVING A FLARE UP THAT DAY AND DR. LAROUSA WAS SO KIND AND ASKED US TO BRING HIM IN THAT DAY. HE WAS AT RJ'S OFFICE, SO WE GOT AUSTIN SETTLED AND SWAPPED KIDS AND BACK TO THE DOCTOR'S OFFICE WE GO. THANK GOD BECAUSE WHEN I GOT TO AIDEN HE HAD GOTTEN WORSE AND AS SOON AS THE NURSE SAW HIM SHE GRABBED THE DOCTOR AND BEGAN BREATHING TREATMENTS AND STEROIDS. WE ENDED UP GOING HOME WITH A NEBULIZER TO DO THE BREATHING TREATMENTS AT HOME AND HE HAS HAD TO DO THEM A LOT LATELY WITH ALL THIS WEATHER CHANGING. SO AFTER ALL OF THIS WE MADE IT TO WAL-MART TO GET SOME PRIZES:)!
EVEN THOUGH THEY HAVE SOME HEALTH ISSUES I STILL CONSIDER THEM SOME HEALTHY BOYS AND THANK GOD FOR THEM EVERY DAY, EVEN ON CRAZY DAYS LIKE THAT ONE! I AM BLESSED AND LOVE THEM ALL TO PIECES. JAX MISSED OUT ON ALL THE ACTION THAT DAY, BUT HE CAME HOME WITH A PRIZE TOO:)!

This is where we go also. I just had Pierce tested this past Thursday. He is allergic to pets, trees, grass, and outdoor mold. Dr. Larusso put him on Zyrtic everyday and he may eventually have to have allergy shots. Glad Austin did better than Pierce. You would thought somebody was killing Pierce! Luckily Rhett was there to hold him down. We loved Dr. Larusson though...he was great!
