Allergic

I took Crew to an Allergist yesterday to finally see what he is really allergic to. Here's a list of the things they tested for:

Dogs: Yes
Cats: No
Feathers: Yes
Eggs: Yes
Peas: Yes
Mold: Yes

The doctor wants me to avoid giving him any eggs period! Even if they are baked, fried, or whatever. He says that is most likely why his eczema is so bad. He also prescribed some steroid cream for that and also an epi-pen in case he has a bad allergic reaction to something. He'll get tested again next year for the same things to see if he's grown out of them or not. Hopefully it's not too hard to have an egg free diet!

Poor little guy, I'm with Chris- just buy that lotion in a tub size cuz those are alot of things you come in contact with everyday. We had alot of fun last night! Let's do it again sometime.
