Allergy Test

CJ had her allergy test this afternoon. She didn't have the needles (thank goodness) they did what the tech called the scratch test. The tech (Sonja) said that CJ was a fantastic little patient. She said most kids jerk their arms around after the first scratch, CJ was perfectly still. I was a little shocked myself. They tested for 32 allergens. CJ was positive for only 2!!! That's right TWO! Cats and Dogs. Sonja said they rate the severity of the reaction on a scale of +1 to +4. CJ was a +4 for cats (big shocker, right?) and a +1 for dogs. So to sum up, CJ is EXTREMELY allergic to cats, and only mildly allergic to dogs, and nothing else! I am so happy that we finally know what she is and is not allergic to! No more guessing!
