Allergy test

We took Layton to see an allergist today, hoping to finally get some answers as to why he is constantly sick. After an intense question and answer with the doctor he decided that Layton needed a skin prick test.

During the test they prick Layton's back with 17 different things! I had heard horror stories about the test so I made Bryce hold him while they did it. He took it like a champ, as usual!

Instantly Layton's back lit up like a Christmas tree! I kept asking the nurse what each prick was and went into panic mode! After 15 minutes was up the reactions went away and only 1 remained strong!

They tested the Top 10 allergens: cats, dogs, cockroaches, dust mites, milk, soy, wheat, whole eggs, egg yolk, peanuts

The one what remained was SOY! As Layton finished drinking his soy milk bottle a million things when racing through my head. After talking with the doctor we have to obviously stop giving Layton soy. We have to start reading labels and eliminating soy from his diet. It's amazing that soy is in so many things! Hopefully this is the answer to the problem... Layton will get tested again in a year to see if he grows out of the allergy or develops new ones.
