Allergy Season!

It's allergy season. Jay gets two allergy injections every week, and he's had some bad reactions, so he's taking additional meds prior to the shots. The shots aren't helping with his symptoms yet, and he, along with E, got hit a few weeks ago. As of this past weekend, Nate and GracieGirl are ready to rip their eyes out, too. I didn't even think about it, but E's PCA was here today, and she said that the trampoline is covered with pollen. What a way to kick it up, by jumping on it! No wonder the kids started hurting yesterday!

E just screams because his eyes are so swollen and itchy. He rubbed them so hard that he actually broke the skin and has scabs under his eye. He's had a number of asthma flares, and he also broke out in an itchy rash on his wrists. He wakes up crying and screaming during the night, and I know he's exhausted.

Spring was always my favorite season, but it's hard to enjoy it when I have to watch all four of my kiddos suffer. I'd love to open the windows, but that's out of the question. So, we have the a/c running in April. Even so, Jay just took five ice packs up to bed because he's so hot. Of course, he won't change out of his ever-present long sleeves and jeans. There's no point in arguing with him, so I just hope that he falls asleep soon!
