Allergies

Hendrix has broken out in hives several times since we started feeding him real food and I've pretty much narrowed it down to dairy products. So last Wednesday at Hendrix's 9 month appointment I talked to the pediatrician about weaning and he said before we start Hendrix on cow's milk, we'd better get his allergies checked out. We went to the allergist today who tested him for egg, dairy and soy allergies. Poor little guy has a moderate dairy allergy, a kind of major egg allergy but no allergy to soy. All the red splotches in the picture show an allergic reaction to egg yolks, egg whites and dairy. We've got to go to Children's Hospital to get blood work done to measure just how allergic he is. Thankfully the doctor said he'll most likely outgrow the allergy before he goes to school.
