After having both kids diagnosed with RAD (Reactive Airway Disease), we decided it would be a good idea to take Tucker to the Allergist, and determine what allergies he might have, which could possibly be triggers. Mostly we were wanting to determine what pollens/weeds/grasses it might be, because of the times this summer when we were out playing late at night, and he would start wheezing.
He was very brave about the prick test. It was all he could talk about once we got to the doctor's office. Everything they did, check his oxygen/heart rate, get his height and weight, look in his ears, he would ask if that was the prick test. :)
He wanted me to be sure and take pictures just like I did for Nora Jane's.
So here they are. He is allergic to Horses. After all the pricks for weeds, grasses, pollens...horses was it! I sort of figured that. I'm allergic, and he's been visibly bothered when we've been around ours at Grandma and Grandpa Pace's.
No biggy. We just have to give him some preventative medications, and have the inhaler on hand. And eventually, if he wants to ride the horses with his dad more often, we can do shots to get rid of the allergy.
