Allergies?

Poor Marsh has been battling rashes since the summer. We initially thought it was a contact dermatitis, but the other night at dinner I looked over and his arm was full of hives! Which means some sort of food allergy. There was a lot of different foods at dinner so I couldn't narrow it down. We have eliminated strawberries and broccoli- both caused a rash in the past. But he continues to have rashes so I took him to the doctor to discuss testing.

Today he had some lab work to test different foods. 

He was such a charmer in the waiting room at the lab! 

I had a talk with him that morning to tell him what was going to happen. He was quiet while I talked and at the end said  "Awwight Mommy". 

Melted my heart. I don't know if he really knew what I was telling him, but it was super cute none the less!

He was not happy when we went in the back!

I held him tight and sang in his ear (just like I told him I would!) and the phlebotomist did a fast, great job! He cried, but got over it pretty quickly!

There isn't much a lollipop won't fix!

As he stared at his bandage, 

I realized that it was the same shade as his cast!

I'm thinking this particular shade of green may trigger PTSD for him :-)

Hoping to get the test results next week!
