that was not fun.

Hadley headed back to the allergist this morning for some additional skin testing.  Our appointment wasn't until 9:00 am so we went to Chick-fil-a for a breakfast date and some playground fun before the doctor's visit.

 

When we got to Dr. Ellenburg's office, he said there would be "5 small tests." 

The nurse then brought in 2 giant boxes and told me the doctor ordered a lot of tests for someone Hadley's age.  They pricked her little back what seemed like thousands of times while she cried and I held her.  It literally broke my heart to watch this.  I was in tears, she was in tears. I almost made them stop at one point. 

After they were finished, we put her shirt back on and were waiting on the doctor to come talk to us about the results.  Then, in walked another nurse with MORE tests.  Was not prepared for that in the slightest.

This time the nurse did them on the back of her arm (6-7 tests).  These were more painful for Hadley....the whole experience was just awful for both of us.

The good news is she has outgrown her egg allergy, still allergic to milk. She's allergic to molds and shellfish as well.  Hooray for no allergy shots!  We will continue her nebulizer treatments until we go back in December. 

When we left, Hadley said "that was not fun."  I told her it certainly was not fun and that we would go get ice cream tonight when I picked her up from school.  Love her little heart so much.
