Allergist

Sofia's hearing is still not very good. We have been back and forth to the ENT many times and have taken allergy medicine, antibiotics, and nose drops all in an attempt to clear her ears. Nothing has worked. Before they will discuss tubes though everything has to be looked at so today was our trip to the allergy/immunology doctor. Sofia had 20 pricks made in her forearm to test for allergies. It was not a pleasant process for her. I felt bad for her because I know it was painful. The upside is that she didn't have any allergic reaction. The downside of our visit was that they did not tell me in advance that Sofia couldn't eat before the immunology blood test so we need to go back again on Wednesday. After they take her blood on Wednesday, we will wait for the results and on Feb 6th I will call the doctor to find out if anything shows up on the blood test. I really can't imagine anything coming up but we shall see. After that it will be back to the ENT to see what the next steps are in helping Sofia to hear better.
