Fun at the Pool

A couple years ago we joined a nearby pool as several of our neighbors seemed to really enjoy going. The kids are having a blast (and I think Den does too). hee hee.

We've gone almost daily since being back from vacation. It's finally warm enough (we've had some downright cool summer weather).

So I realized in my post about J's allergies that it's difficult to follow. The medium length synopsis is that there is no way to test for allergies to drugs. The doctor wants to rule out all other factors to see if we can't do whatever preventative measures possible to keep her from getting sick (eg, treat her for allergies so she doesn't get all gunked up and fluid in her ears). There are a couple other drugs we'll try next time she needs something to see what happens, but there are some illnesses for which she may need one of the drugs that she's reacted to. If she needs one of these drugs, the first dose will basically be administered by the allergist in her office in tiny amounts over the course of an ENTIRE day. If she does okay, we take her home and continue to administer the drug. We didn't discuss what we do if it does not go well.

I did ask about the swine flu vacinne, if that is something that it looks like we should pursue and she said we'd need to discuss later this fall when we get test results back regarding any other allergies (it apparently contains dairy, as do many common antibiotics).

Carry on.
