All about Mason…

If you read our allergy blog, you’ll see that part of this is a repeat, but other of it is new info, so don’t pass over it just yet!

Mason had his bi-annual allergy appointment in August where they did the skin test as well as his blood work. We got GREAT news today from those results!!! Mason has outgrown his tree nut allergy!!! As for the other allergens, the results were as follows:

Milk: down from 1.71 to .78

Egg: down from 4.70 to 2.43

Peanut: steady at 4.91

His environmental allergens all stayed the same as they were previously, but as noted before, those are easier to manage and I’m much less concerned with those. For people who want to know what those numbers mean…well, I’m not exactly sure. All I know is that anything over “0″ is a positive and anything less than 1.0 can be challenged. We’re going to set up an appointment to challenge the milk again. But my nerves are going full force after last year’s anaphylactic response. But his numbers are much better so that is a plus. We’ll see!

He’s hanging in there and growing strong. I can’t believe we’re having his 3rd birthday party this weekend! And yes, we’re crazy to do it in addition to my sister’s wedding…it’s a big weekend for family events! We’re having his party at Parky’s Farm. It’s a petting zoo where they have great Birthday Parties! The kids will ride ponies, feed animals, play in the play barn and have yummy snacks! It should be a great time! Hopefully we’ll get pics up here soon!

That’s all about Mason, for now!
