Mr Allergy

Caleb has always been our allergy kid. We found out at 2 that he was allergic to peanuts, eggs and all pollen and trees pretty much. Since he is now 5 his pediatrican wanted to have him retested for his allergies just to see if anything changed and so that we would know for sure before he went to school next year.
Yesterday he had his appointment with Dr Kinberg. Caleb had been nervous about it all week and to make things a bit more complicated I had to take all the kids along. Luckily everyone was well behaved for the almost 2 hour appointment but I was a bit frazzled by the time we left.
The Dr started out by asking about his allergies and doing an exam. He said that he seemed to be having allergy symptoms now which I had thought were more of a cold but who knows? He suggested that we do the nose spray year around and then use the oral medication in the summer. The bad news is they have stopped making his allergy medicine that seems to work for him (I stocked up last summer before they changed the formula) but not sure what we will do after that if the new formula doesn't work.
Then they did the part that no one was looking forward to, the skin testing. Caleb was a trooper! They did over 75 spots on his back. They tested him for trees, pollen, dust, cats, peanuts, tree nuts, shell fish and eggs. At first he panicked a little because he was so itchy but after breaking out the prize I had brought along he did fine. The serum had to stay on for 20 minutes and then they analzed the results.
The results were about the same as when he was 2 which I'm glad things didn't get worse but I was hoping for better. He is still very allergic to peanuts and tree nuts, eggs were non reactive this time shell fish was pretty low so the dr said we could try it. He is still allergic to pollen and trees so pretty much the months April-November he is allergic to. Poor kid. He handles it pretty well but I feel bad for him. We did discuss allergy shots and decided that we probably need to commit to those in the next couple years to hopefully make things better for him long term.
