Like you most likely saw, we got a new appt. Though I am bringing him to the hospital for the allergy test we are going to the Montreal children's hospital... so yes... we will be seeing a paediatric allergist. I do know that he will be getting the skin test but if it is not offered I will be asking for the blood test also so hopefully he will listen to my concerns... thanks again for the info :) Again… this comment got caught in the spam sorry…

Is there an actual pediatric allergist you can see versus having to go to the hospital? We have always had a lot better experience with the pediatric allergist than regular allergist or general practicioner. What kind of test did they do on Khena? Was it just a skin prick test? You may want to look into a blood test too. That will test for the actual IgE antibodies. Also - we personally practice 100% strict avoidance for her allergies (we are actually challenging her milk allergy next week so it seems to be working!) but I know some people do NAET treatments. That might be something you want to look into. It is a more natural approach to "curing" allergies.

I am glad that I checked my spam... because your comments had ended up there. I am waiting for a call from the doctors office today so I will see what they say... I also called the hospital back to see if anything could be moved up... I will e-mail you if I have any questions for you though... thanks thanks for your insight, I actually thought of you yesterday evening…

Allergy testing is like a pregnancy test - a positive is a positive, but a negative is not always a negative. The only 100% accurate allergy test is to actually expose the person and see what happens. I sure hope it is something else and not allergies! You might want to think about calling up the doctor again and getting a a prescription for an epi-pen. He may not have allergies at all, but until you know for sure you don't want to risk him having a more serious reaction. An epi-pen will save his life!! That is awesome that you got in so quickly!
