Allergies

Emerson went for his first allergy appointment this morning.  Good news!  He is not allergic to Bodie!  They only did a stick test for dog because he is not old enough for immunotherapy and the dog allergen is what we have the most control over.  He has been on Singulair for over a month now and it is managing his symptoms quite well so the Dr. didn't see the need to put him through additional testing yet.  It is very promising that he is not allergic to dog because that is one of Scott's worst allergens and more and more research is showing that genes play a strong role in allergies.  Hopefully his are minor and his symptoms are just exaggerated by living in Oklahoma.
