Allergy Update

After months of wondering about Hudson's allergies we took him to an allergist today. After 3 1/2 hours...yes, that's right 3 1/2 horrible hours... at the doctor's office we had our results. We were correct in our assumptions that he is allergic to milk, rice and nuts, but we were shocked to find out that what he is most allergic to is soy!! So, all the soy milk, yogurt, and cheese we have been feeding him everyday was the wrong thing to do. So, what do we do from here? Other then avoiding all of the things he is allergic to, I don't know. Our next step is to contact either another allergist and/or a nutritionist to figure out what to do now. On an up note, we received a few new prescriptions for his eczema. By avoiding high allergen foods and using the new creams, his skin should be back to normal in no time. For the mean time we will be careful with what Hudson eats, and pray that he outgrows everything!!
