The boys had a blast and we will be going back this Sunday to let Mado ride the slide and pet the animals and such. It was too dang crowded last week for that. We did though pick out two perfect pumpkins and will be decorating them tonight with our Mr. Potato Head pirate and skeleton!
Yesterday Maddox had to go to see the Allergist. We needed to find out why he keeps breaking out in hives. Well...the visit started out like this:
We get there and fill out the normal tons of paper work while Maddox plays with the toys in the waiting room. Then we get called back. The nurse grabs my dear rottweiler's Mado's wrist to check his pulse. Well, Maddox has never had his pulse taken the good ole fashion way so he freaked out and tried to get away. To him, she was trying to hurt him, he just didn't understand. Then just as she was finishing, I saw it. It was like slow motion and I tried to stop it but I couldn't in time....Mado bit that nurse and hard. I immediately pulled his head back before he could "latch" on. I was so embarrassed! Why immediately came to my mind was DaxFlame...my son could NOT be like DaxFlame, and THAT'S ALL! So Mado goes on and plays like nothing ever happened and the nurse ask all kinds of questions about Maddox. Then...the Dr. asks all kinds of questions and to sum it up these things from M's medical history are red flags for allergies and asthma: He had GERDS as a baby, eczema, ear infections (he's had plenty and tubes), random runny noses, congestion. So we pretty much already knew he had allergies, so hand me the Rx and lets go, right? No. They had to tourture test him first. They tell me to hold him in a hug and they whipped out these things that had 6 sharp things that had 5 individual sharp things on them. What did I get my baby into? Then not only did they stick those 30 things in his back to inject antigens in his body, they did it more times. So...that is 180 small needles stuck into my precious boys back. He was hysterical, I was hysterical, and he was hyperventilating! It only to took like 5minutes to see that he is allergic to:
- Tree, grass, and weed pollen
- Severly allergic to molds
- House dust
- Dust Mites
- Cat and dog dander
- Cockroach Antigen gross!
The good news is he doesn't have food allergies which are much harder to handle. He has to take Zyrtec and Nasonex everyday, but other than that he is doing good now!
PS...I promise Mado doesn't bite children, and untl now he has never bit a stranger! And before we left he gave the nurse a kiss to make up for it! ;)
