I'm taking Carson to an allergist today. I'm nervous but excited, once we know what bothers him, maybe we can start working on fixing his stomach issues. He's so small it shouldn't take much to fix his digestive system once we know what to eliminate.
I hope its only allergies to stuff he will grow out of. Milk allergy scares me, if its life long, he'll never get to experience an ice cream social after swim lessons. Or go grab a pizza with his friends. Of course these are all down the road and I would always try to make sure he is able to do those things. But it is still nerve wracking.
We are seeing an allergist that not only specializes in digestive allergies, but also has a strong focus on celiac. Fingers crossed thats not a problem for C.
I must say I am incredibly thankful for the fact that we have kick ass insurance and I don't have to take him to only certain doctors. I'm basically able to take him where ever I feel will give him the best treatment.
I plan on keeping our appointment on Thursday with our Pediatrician mostly because I also want to address how to deal with his picky eating, and having his blood levels checked because I think he is anemic. He was "slightlly anemic" at his 2 year check up, but all they told me was I needed to get him to eat better. Obviously they haven't experienced an extremely picky kid. I try my hardest and its still not good enough.
Enough ramblings. I will be back later today with results. I've been a bit MIA recently because of family being here (SO much fun! Post to come!)
