Random January Events

This January has been rather busy! Kaylynn had to go to the allergist for her asthma/allergies and have the skin/prick test done. That was not fun! I was supposed to hold her so she couldn't arch her back, but it's almost impossible then she wiggled because it tickled when they were marking the pricks! I think the nurse got annoyed with me because I was unable to completely hold her! But once the allergins were in her skin, they started to itch, but we couldn't hold her or let her back touch anything and she was crying! I felt SO bad for her!!! Turned out none of the allergins completely reacted...yet, but it's very possible she's still just too young to have them in her blood (which is very common). But her nasal area was very swollen which means there's most likely allergens in her nose and she's just not old enough to have them in her blood yet. But her asthma wasn't being controlled properly (which explained all the coughing she's been doing). So she's on more meds. She's on Flovent 2 puffs 2x a day, prednisone, singular, Zyrtec and albuterol as needed. Poor kid!! We go back to the allergist on thursday (for the 3rd time this month) so hopefully we can figure out which of these meds she'll need long-term and such.

Kaylynn is also being evaluated for a possible speech delay. They are evaluating her today, I'll update this post later with more info.

This weekend Loren and I went to see Disney on Ice with Christine and Mackenzie!! It was a lot of fun! Very cute show!!! Loren enjoyed the popcorn, sitting by "miss Kenzie" and watching Tinkerbelle Ice Skate!
