Allergies and Asthma and Eczema...oh My!

I took GracieGirl and E to the allergist today. We borrowed a van from a friend (thank you!!) so that Nick could pick Jay up from his autism class, while I took the kids. I was a little bit nervous about E getting out of control, so I pulled Nate away from his friends to come along and help. He was not thrilled.

I love our allergist, and he always keeps the kids entertained and in line. He pretended to hypnotize E with his stethoscope, and I told him that if he pulled that off, that stethoscope was coming home with me! He said that of course E couldn't sleep; he has too much energy to sleep!

He was happy with GracieGirl, except for the eczema that covers the backs of both of her legs. He wasn't happy with E at all, saying that we need to get his asthma under better control. He started him on a new med and wants to see him in three months. He also wants to do another blood test and then possibly another egg challenge, depending on the results of the blood test.

I came home with a whoppin' 14 scripts! Fourteen meds for two little kids! Unbelievable.

E was good, for the most part. He did tell the doctor that he didn't look like a doctor; he looked like he married a man. Huh?? I finally figured out that he meant that the doctor looked like a man who was getting married because he was wearing a tie! Apparently, he didn't look like a doctor because he doesn't wear a lab coat!

E did run out of the office as I was scheduling his next appointment, and then tore out of the building as we left. Couldn't have done it without Nate...
