It's that time of year again. Allergy retesting. I didn't sleep at all last night. I hate putting her through this. Hate it! There's no choice I say, I know it hurts but I wouldn't ask you to do it if I didn't think it was important etc. All she hears is blood draw....
We started the day with a quick allergy check up. I love our allergist and I love that he's always surprised at how well she is doing. She really is defying the odds. She was a sick little toddler and now she's a thriving 7 year old.
Then it was off for the blood draw. Immediate tears. She sat still and cried. She even looked at the needle in her arm after a while. When it was over she said that it didn't hurt nearly as much as she thought it would.
Her part is done. Now I sit and wait for two weeks. Wait for the phone to ring. When it does ring, what will the results be? Do we carry on as we have for the past four years or do we head back to the office for the next step, the skin test?
I will be here waiting......
Thinking of you and your brave little lady as you both sit and wait. Hoping for nothing but great news!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I will find plenty of stuff to keep me busy over the next two weeks.
ReplyDeleteThank you for writing...it gives me such encouragement and hope and that shoulder. We will be thinking of you, as we've also done just the same things with our two boys for 9 years, now. And have much the same feelings! Hoping and praying for good results.
ReplyDeleteThank you for reading and for your kind words. It's a hard road isn't it? It's taught me a lot though.
DeleteHang in there!
