Sloane's Allergy Testing

A few weeks back Sloane had an allergic reaction to the dried fruit and nut medley from Costco, so today we went and had allergy testing. The results showed she is allergic to peanuts, walnuts, and pecans. Ugh! She now has to have a Epi-pen with her at all times in case of a reaction. The doc said 1 in 5 kids out grow the peanut allergy, so we are going to keep our fingers crossed. We will know the blood test results within a week which will determine what level her allergies really are. Poor little angel... She was a trooper during the testing.

Here she is with her big belly!!!
You can see some of the irritation on her little back....
Here she is showing me her "owee" on her arm.... She loved getting a treat after!!!
