Our trip to the allergist...

The moment you have all been waiting for...
Abby is allergic to Cow's milk.

It stinks I know. NO cheese, NO Ice cream, soy or rice milk here we come. Good thing I enjoy nursing, I will continue to do that. She can have milk or cheese if it has been cooked into something. We also have to check labels and make sure there is not whey in the foods. We had her blood drawn too and the Dr. called us and said that looking at her blood sample she will most likely grow out of it by age 5 but even more likely age 2 or 3. Thank goodness! They will continue to check her yearly to see when she finally grows out of it.
They tested her for all kinds of things, a whole bunch of fruits, cat, dog, mold, fish, soy. Number 2 is Cow's milk. It was the only thing she is allergic to.
Waiting for the results.

That is the saddest thing ever! I would be devastated if I were allergic to milk. I definitely hope she grows out of it soon.
