Allergy update

A few months shy of a year, and we have discovered Trey might not have been allergic to dairy after all. Remember the hospital stay of 2007? A whole year of soy milk, soy yogurt, soy cheese, and soy ice cream and it might not have been necessary. Of course, we'll never know for sure, but Joe took Trey to a new allergist who did the skin prick test using a new method and tested his blood, and his findings are they Trey is NOT allergic to milk and tree nuts. He is mildly allergic to eggs, but if they are cooked they should be ok (who would give raw eggs to a 2 year old anyway?), and definitely allergic to peanuts. He suggested we start Trey on yogurt and cheese and make sure he tolerates it ok, then move onto milk. Wee hoo!!!!
