Luke has both today so awful
Well i suppose it wasn't too bad so hard to see him cry. But had lovely nurses and it did go well. So far the skin prick test was all negative... Yah 
Testing for milk, peanut, wheat, soy, egg. So that's good but they said not to get too excitied as it could show up in Rast (blood) tests. Fingers crossed he's not allergic to milk, peanuts or eggs. -------------

Great news about the skin prick results! Did they warn you that the RAST results can take a couple of weeks? Correct me if I'm wrong... but after the child is over 1yr, isn't the skin prick test the more accurate of the two? That's how it worked for Ella anyway. So fingers crossed you may get good news after the RAST - how cool would that be?!? Hope so! ------------- Andie |
