Cavin has definitely been given the genetic shaft when it comes to health. He seems to have all the health struggles in the family. He had his tonsils and adenoids out this year, broke his finger, hurt his foot, has been dealing with a few other ongoing issues, and now has been doing immunotherapy for all his allergies. Since he is allergic to everything they test for, they recommended he does the immunotherapy. We decided to do the cluster version to help him get to maintenance faster. He started the first week of October and we have spent a lot of time in the allergy office many times 2 hours at a time. He has been a trooper, and never complains even though I know the shots suck and they don't make him feel well after. This past weekend he had a routine round of allergy shots and the dosage must have been a little too high as he had a severe reaction and got hives and swollen ears and lips and his throat was itchy and he couldn't breath well, he kept saying he was fine but the dr looked at him as routine before we leave and rushed him back to a room as soon as she saw him. They gave him epinephrin and a lot of medications and were able to get his airways open and his allergic reaction under control, but it was definitely scary. The poor kid just can't catch a break medically!
