This time it was Jack's turn. After 2 weeks of being sick, it was time to visit the allergist. I was born with an allergy shot in my arm. I'm allergic to everything in the environment (and have asthma), but pregnancy seems to have been very kind to my sinuses. I haven't had a sinus infection or allergy attack in a very long time (knock wood.). Erik and Ella both take allergy shots right now and Lucy had a million food allergies as a toddler. Seriously! Was here any other fate for Jack?
He did great today and I was so proud of him. He stood very still for his chest X-ray and handled the allergy injections just fine. After it was said and done it was determined that he has a chronic sinus infection, cloudy lungs on the verge of pneumonia and he is allergic to trees, dogs and cats.
I think I will seriously open a pharmacy in my kitchen!
My computer is still down so I can't organize these pictures like I'd like to on my phone. I also can't add a caption. So, what you are seeing below is Jack's back after the tests were administered and then some gratuitous Jack pictures. But honestly, who could ever get enough of this smile?
I hope that you will keep his hair exactly like it is! I love it!
ReplyDeleteHe is so cute. That looks so sore, I hope he feel better soon,
ReplyDeleteHe is so handsome and happy!
ReplyDeleteSo cute!! Praying he feels better soon.

He is so cute! I wish I had some of those curls.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cutie he is and he looks so much like Lucy! My son also went through Thr allergy testing and we found he had a chronic sinus infection. He did a month of antibiotics and he's been great since! That was almost 2 years ago. Not so mch as a cold since.
ReplyDeleteKate, I pray for Lucy every morning as well as your family. I met you and Eric on the first Go Lucy Go 5K last year and gave you a book I put together called "Alli's Mom" A Journey through Childhood Cancer (just in case you need a name with a face). I just read your post about allergies with your family. I think I may have something that could help you all. I too "was" an allergy sufferer. If you email me I will give you more information then. My email address is jtsedory@hotmail.com.
ReplyDeleteHe is SO cute! I especially love the third photo of him in the darker blue outfit with his hands behind his back. Wonderful. :) -- And awwwww about his back and the allergies. :( But I'm glad they caught it before it became pneumonia.
ReplyDeleteBig hug to Jack. :)
Jack is just toooo cute. Poor baby with all those pricks on his back. I know it's necessary but that doesn't make it any better. Aside from Jack being sick, it's so good to see your family in some kind of normalcy. I am praying that Lucy will make so many knew friends in her K class that she will not feel so bad about not getting to move on to 1st grade. I know that's hard but she has come so far. Continued prayers.
ReplyDeleteJack is a doll!
ReplyDeleteKate,
ReplyDeleteCould he be any cuter?!!!
I am taking a smocking class next Wednesday because I keep seeing him in his smocked outfits and they are just adorable!!
awww poor little man! That looks painful. Hope he doesn't have too many allergies...
