TODAY was the big day...45 mins before her 9am app, we prepped both arms with the numbing cream, wrapped them in saran wrap and headed to her appt. There they did 30 'pricks' in both arms...she didn't feel a thing. Then they did 20 under the skin injections into her upper arm...THAT she felt...but only 3 of them (out of 20, not bad!)
Then they did an asthma test...2 hours later...the results are IN...
No allergies at all...mild asthma (and we voted against the chest xray at this time). With the combo of her RSV as a baby, and reflux, and how she improved on her air test AFTER she took a boost of the inhaler, it was determined it's asthma...So for 6 weeks she will do an inhaler twice a day...and go back to the allergist for a follow up to see if her coughing subsides.
So here I thought she would want to stay home from school after being poked and prodded, but nope, this girl is a trooper...off to school she went...and mommy went into work as well (not happy about that)...
