Allergies


Recently Skylar had 2 allergic reactions after going out to eat. Her Dr sent us to the allergist where Skylar had a skin test that confirmed her wheat allergy. She turned red instantly. The Dr told us how careful we need to be & that if we go out to eat we need to bring Sky her own food. Even if you order something as simple as french fries they are most likely cooked in the same oil as the fried foods on the menu. We are hoping she will outgrow this allergy by the age of 5. We also found out she is allergic to mosquito bites. The Dr said there is nothing we can do for that. This is a picture of what she looks like after getting bit by a mosquito. She is on Claritin during mosquito season & if she gets bit we give her Benadryl. If the bite doesn't heal she will need to see a Dr for antibiotics. So far we haven't had to do that.
