The CAT

Well the test results are in and it's cats and dogs that Abigail is allergic to. Poor kid will never be able to have a dog or a cat. I think I figured out why she started having such a bad reaction this winter. See my mom has a cat, and in the winter months the cat stays inside the house, plus our vacuum broke and I wasn't able to vacuum like I usually do every day. Now that the weather is breaking, the cat is going out more, and we got a new vac :). Since then Abby is doing better, plus I am finding that plain old Benadryl is working better than the prescription allergy medicine.

Allergies

Little Miss Abigail has been having a terrible time with allergies. Poor kid, we can't figure out what it is that is causing so much itching and terrible red patches all over her arms and legs. Once I have her off allergy medicine for a week, we are having a blood test performed to see what is triggering her reactions. I know she is not going to be happy about having her blood drawn, but I really hope we can figure out what is happening. She looks so pitiful with puffy red lips, red watery eyes and spots all over her. They gave me an epi pen, just in case she gets into what ever it is and has a severe reaction. I am hoping that we never have to face that scenario.
