Daddy took Gavin to his follow up allergist appointment. We were keeping a "diet diary" but stopped after his face starting looking great consistently.
They did a prick test to test his reaction to peanuts and eggs. Because he was tolerating small amounts of garlic in food (tacos, spaghetti sauce, etc), they didn't test it. He didn't react at all to eggs and had a small reaction to peanuts! We'll continue to avoid peanuts and were given the green light to introduce eggs. The doctor explained that we could slowly introduce them and if he didn't react we could go "hog wild" with eggs! We haven't given him eggs by themselves, but he's had food with eggs without any problems!
They also gave him his follow-up flu shot at his appointment. Because of the results of the prick test, they gave him the regular vaccine, rather than the egg-free. The nurses were wooed by Gavin and commented on how well he did at the appointment, especially during the prick test and vaccine. No tears at all!
