Skin test results

Well, today was the day. We woke up and had a nice breakfast, sent her older sister off to school and we headed to the Dr. We chatted about her medical history etc. Then it was time for her to get poked. They wrote on her skin (that cracked her up). They tested her for apple, applesauce, walnut, birch pollen, the control and the histamine. She said it hurt but she barely flinched and no tears. Much easier than the blood test. They test for birch because that cross pollinates with apples. We waited the 15 minutes and saw hives at the control, the histamine, and the walnut. We were right. Still no eating of tree nuts here. The control is not supposed to react so she has been diagnosed with dermatographism. That's very sensitive skin. To confirm the diagnosis the Dr. ran a wood stick (the medical kind not one from outside) along her arm and she turned red from that. Unreal........
She did not react to the apple, applesauce, or the birch. The Dr. said that we could food challenge the apple and sauce today. Little one did not want to eat the apple today so we will push that off to summer. She did eat applesauce today and she passed. She's a very happy camper.
She has had a nice dose of benadryl. Her arms look so much better already. She's now relaxing on the couch watching Brave.
She picked where we will eat out tonight, Moe's. Yummy! Strangely enough it's right next door to Sweet Frog. I see frozen yogurt in our future.
