This week Cooper is under-going "patch testing" at the ol' allergist's office. I guess a lot of people have done this or heard of it, but for me it's completely new. I have to take him in three times this week. The first day they put a bunch of samples of different foods on his back, then no baths for 3 days and we come back to take a peek at everything. Then come again the next day to look again.
Right now my boy looks like he's either been abducted by aliens or tagged by the game and fish department.
Underneath each one of those little disks is a chunk or dribble of milk, soy, egg, peanut butter, wheat, chicken, corn, or banana. (Oh, and notice that very bottom one that's halfway underneath his diaper? Try keeping THAT ONE clean on a boy who's got diahrrea! HA!) There's a whole lot of tape going on, but as you can see, so far I don't see any reactions. My hope is that we can please-oh-please have a few of these foods deemed "safe" and back into his diet. My other hope is that we can see SOME reaction to SOMETHING and finally know what's going on.
Stay tuned for our next exciting episode later this week!

Poor thing. I do hope that they find out what is wrong with him.
Poor little pumpkin. :(
Gotta love the patches on a 17 month old!!
I'd imagine it's hard enough to keep them on him without having to have one right under his diaper, and with diahrrea!!
Hope you figure this all out very soon!
