Allergist

Okay so we have had some pretty nice weather here. We have a grassy area in front of the house and depending on the time of day you can let the kids run around and play. I say depending on time of day because he have a pretty full parking lot now and people come and go in the early morning.
So last week the weather was really nice and Prince went out to play. So I gathered both kids and the dog and went outside. Well with in about 30 minutes Prince had little dots on his legs. I scooped the kids up and took the dog inside. I went and got some benadryl.

Prince has been to an allergist. They told me as of the tests they ran he is not allergic to what they tested for. They did advise me that he had sensitive skin.

So by the time I get to the store he has a couple dots on his face as well. I get the benadryl and give it a chance. Things clear up within a couple hours.

I am aware at the first of every month a person comes here to spray for pests, I am aware that the grass that is here is a bit harder (not as soft as some grass) than most, my dog doesn't even really like it. I call the pediatrician and ask for a referral to the allergist again and see if they can put it through quick.

Well they did their part but the allergist doesn't have an appointment for a month an a half. That won't work. Well now he has new eczema spots. He has always had 3. Now he has them behind his knees. It has not been hot and we have not changed anything. Maybe it is coincidence that it happened around the same time.

They are putting in an RX for his cream because these are a little bit different than the other 3 spots that he has. I hope the RX works.

It is all very frustrating....

Speech week 6

we have great news from speech!!!

Prince is doing really well. He is on the right track. He still signs and talks at the same time. Sometimes he just talks, others he just signs. We always have to be watchful of him just in case he is using his hands. His teacher mentioned something to me about them doing a trial play group type of thing. However, she was not sure.

Today she told me that they have picked Prince and 5 other kids to go every Friday for 1.5 hours. He will eat lunch there and play with kids in ways they have worked with the local school district. Speech, social and sensory issues are things they are going to work with.

I am a little worried, he is my baby. I have not really left him in a setting like that WITHOUT his sister. His teacher(s) (OT, Speech and SDRC) all know the situations that go on with him, so they are aware of his actions with other kids. He is not the only one like this so we are all aware of things that might happen.

I am excited for him to go. I hope it is something that he can benefit from, especially since he will start school soon after it ends!

Wish us luck!!!

Weekend wrap-up

This weekend was good, overall. SD actually came home early, for the first time in 2 weeks! The kids were excited. They really missed their daddy. Saturday we went and took the kids out then took them to the mall for the merry-go-round! The kids love it and SD can stomach the ride!
Saturday night we went to his friends house up the street to watch the UFC fight. I am not a fan of these things. I figured, what the hell. I have met all these people before so it wasn't anything to worry about. They do not get stupid. Anyway. I decided after looking at these boys with their JACKED up faces that I would much rather my son play chess then be a fighter. LOL I mean, I know he needs to play football and all that. I pray he does not go that direction! I am not sure that I would have paid $60 to watch that fight... It was good though!

Sunday, I was sicker than a dog after drinking to much the night before. My zofran pills DID NOT work. The only thing that did was sleeping the sickness off. Which sucked because we had stuff to do. I was not even able to hold down liquids. After my nap I felt better and we took the kids out and got dinner and snacks with them.

We had a nice relaxing weekend. Today I did a laundry list of things that I had not planned BUT I felt good so I figured I should do it while I can...
