update on Nate's allergies

Forgot to post about the visit at the specialist. The whole week being off meds for Nate was horrible. He lost his voice and the sneezing was over the top. So we tested him for milk, dust, dog, and something else. He was allergic to dust and dog. So basically we had to get all these covers for his mattress and I bought new pillows and put covers on them too. I had to clean his room from head to toe. I have to watch and make sure that Gabbie doesn't come in the room. Also limit his play activity with her which he doesn't really play with her anyway. He has to take allergy medicine daily along with Cingular. That is to help when he gets sick and the wheezing. This is to prevent the wheezing. We all got sick a few weeks ago and he is the only one that didn't get the cough like we did. So it is working! I am now on that medicine too! We have only had a few attacks since then but that is because I was slacking on the nose spray. We go back in November for a recheck. Also he isn't allergic to milk but I have to be careful with his eczema. Daddy gave him whole milk on accident and later that day his butt was covered in hives and eczema. I got it under control but now I know what can happen when he has the heavy milks.
