No peanut allergy
I got a call from the doctor's office today and they had interesting news for us. Taylor does not have a peanut allergy...great news for Taylor considering that's all she wants to eat! The two things that showed up were mild and cat dander which her blood had a small reaction to. The nurse said that both were not enough of a reaction to be considered an allergy, but the milk reaction was slightly stronger than the cat dander reaction. She told me that it would be a good idea to keep the house vacuumed frequently and to give her less dairy and see if the hives stay away. She hasn't had hives since we first returned from VA, so hopefully, it was something that won't pop up again. Her skin is looking much better, too, likely due to the lack of chlorine pool use this week and last. She also had no reaction to soy, wheat, shrimp, walnuts, peanuts, corn, or dog dander. So if the hives return, I will start journaling what Taylor eats and is exposed to. So glad that we had her blood tested so that Taylor can eat peanut butter again, but wish we knew why she had gotten hives. It's a mystery!
