Poor buddy.

Yesterday was a pretty sad day for our family. We decided after a few possible allergic reactions to nuts we would take Warren to an allergist. Andrew and I went in thinking that he had a mild allergy to tree nuts. Our pediatrician says it's better to be safe than sorry with nut allergies because they can be deadly. So we figured we would have him tested.

Warren has had cashews and walnuts... both with similar reactions (one while I was entertaining an out of town guest from the PGA). He would tell us his tummy hurt and within a few minutes throw up. We figured since he wasn't getting super rashey and didn't act like his throat hurt, and that he was throwing up that it wasn't that serious. WRONG. Apparently throwing up means your sensitivity to something is worse than the itchy and rashey reaction.

So, after some poking and prodding we found that our little bug is severely allergic to all tree nuts. Luckily not peanuts. But, cashews can be as deadly as a peanut allergy. So, we are now an epi pen family. FUN!!!

We also found out he's allergic to cats and dogs which was a little shock. He is around them every Monday. We are just supposed to wash his clothes, hands and face when he comes home. That one isn't serious. Still a good excuse for me to never have a cat or dog in the house!!!!!!! Hooray. I'm not a huge fan of animals.

I have had a couple of people ask how we got Warren to sit so still for so long.... bribery. We told him he could have a slurpee if he was a good boy. He kept still which was shocking. The saddest thing was when he was crying and telling me "mommy, I'm being a good boy." It broke my heart. He wanted his slurpee so bad but couldn't hold back the tears.
