patch testing

so.. on monday, our allergist put 5 different foods (corn, milk, soy, wheat, egg) on grayson's back, in tiny wells with tape on them and tomorrow we get to have them taken off. they measure the red area, thus determining an allergy and/or degree of allergy. PLEASE PRAY that we get something that's negative. this is basically to disprove the RAST test (blood test). so we'll see. I WANT TO GIVE HIM CORN TOMORROW!!!! how cool would that be... a very nice change from tasteless brown rice. but luckily, my sweet boy LOVES his brown rice. he's so cute with a rice cake in hand. you would SERIOUSLY think that it was ice cream. sweet boy.

right on! step 1 is to start the testing. we're praying for a negative test - you probably know by now. If not, there's the next 5 foods. Hang in there!! by the way, we still have the top to your swimming pool. sorry. :( I'm lame. I"ll get it to you this weekend. anna
