We don't have the results yet and may not for a couple of days, but we've had Jaemin's blood drawn. I know when they couldn't get blood from Chelsi I gave up and never went back, but hers was just being precautionary. I wasn't worried when the doctor asked that we get blood drawn to check for iron, lead and CBC. I figured, no rush. But, when he started to show more allergies to berries we couldn't hold off. We decided to get enough drawn to do it all at once. That's a lot of blood. Blood for the allergies alone is a lot. The first arm they tried the vein just kept rolling. Then, the second arm rolled too, but she managed to move the needle and get the vein. They started filling vials as quickly as they could. hey were a little shorter in each vial than they had hoped, but they were going to put his birth date on the vials and let the lab know that they really need to try to get all the results we need off the blood he already gave so we don't have to put him through this again. We're praying they can make it work.
I don't remember what all they're testing for, but they're testing for everything they have a panel for. All the regulars, plus extra fruits. It's hard to keep his ear clear at this point from the last reaction, so we don't want to risk giving him any other food he can't handle. I'm praying he's not allergic to too much or anything too difficult to eliminate from the diet. That will be difficult with 5 kids. Praying he's okay. Hopefully, they call soon so we can just know.
Momma loves you little man.
