Annie & Allergies




Annie had a two bad asthma attacks - nebulizer, urgent care visits exactly one month apart.  This prompted a visit to her allergy/asthma doctor.  Annie had some testing done awhile ago and we knew she was allergic to cats and mold but we added tree pollen to the list this last time.  She was quite the trooper going through the allergy prick test.  She got itchy and didn't want to lay there for long, she ended up watching some TV on my phone to help her get through it.  We also came up with a plan to manage her asthma - she is now on a daily inhaler and we haven't had any bad days since.  She has had to use her other inhaler a few times playing soccer, at gymnastics or wrestling but nothing too crazy.  Her hardest time of year is in the Spring.  The abover pictures are from a hike that is near by.  It is a three mile hike with a pond toward the end.  We went after the big rains and the pond was overflowing and there were plenty of tadpoles, this was a return trip when the tadpoles were turning into itty bitty frogs.  I could barely pull her away from her frog hunting.
