Food Allergy?

So I noticed Monday when I woke Allan up from his nap that he had these pink/red spots all over himself. As the day went on and come Tuesday they got worse. Worse enough for me to get an appointment with his doctor as soon as possible. I had Kirk take him in yesterday. His pediatrician say that they are definitely the cause of a food allergy. He also has an ear infection. Kirk was told that sometimes a kid can get a cold that can lead to an ear infection and somehow that triggers a food allergy that's been kind of dormant. Maybe that's what has happened. Now we pretty much have to start from square one with foods. We can gradually start introducing a new food every three days or so and watch how his body reacts to it. I can tell you right now that he's not going to be liking this at all. When lunch time came this afternoon and Allan got something different than the other kids, he was not too happy and he let me know. Hopefully we can figure this out soon.

Here's what Allan's belly looked like yesterday. His legs, arms, back and even face had these spots all over the place. Today, there are just a few in different places.

Luckily for him, he has not been in any pain. They don't hurt him and they don't itch him. He's still just as hyper and active as always.

On the other hand, Kirk got some good news from the nurse. Apparently, she walked in and noticed Allan all over the room and "talking" and pointing to things. He was even engaging in some serious conversation with the nurse. She asked Kirk if that was how Allan always act. If he always had that much energy and talking like he really knew what he was saying and whatever it was must have been really important. Kirk told her that's how Allan always it. She told Kirk that Allan was on the verge of speaking really soon. Kirk let her know that he already says tons of words, but she told him she meant that he was going to be speaking in real sentences soon. She said that just by watching the way Allan communicating with people shows her that he is going to be a very smart child. She said Allan was way ahead of his age.

That's our boy...the genius.
