Add halibut to the list?!


Here in the next month or so it'll be time to schedule both boys their next allergy check up. At this next one, Kristjan will for sure have another allergy test done on his back (since Clifford's allergies are 'environmental', he doesn't necessarily have to have the test done yearly). When we go in, we are going to add more to the test along with all the nuts. We'll add some particular farm animals (cattle, horse, goat, etc) but we will definitely be asking that Kristjan be tested for fish. Although he's eaten salmon, crab and shrimp before with out any issues, this week we had halibut twice for dinner. Both times, after eating it, his face rashed up (the first time, his poor eyes were red and rashy). Luckily there weren't any breathing issues and after giving him some benedryl the rash started to disappear. So until then, we'll make sure not to have any halibut (and keep an eye on any other seafood) until we know the results. We'll keep you posted!
