Being brave

So, there isn't a doodle for today. The boy only had a half day of school, which means he ate lunch at home. I thought about doodling on a napkin for him at home, but it didn't feel the same.

We had a lovely visit with the allergist this afternoon. After three glorious hours, we discovered that the boy is neither allergic to eggs nor latex.

He's got super sensitive skin, so the needle things that they use to administer the tests irritated his skin, but the doc doesn't think he's allergic to either of the possible triggers. What does this mean? Next year's flu shot will be interesting. We get to test him with a bit of it first to see if it irritates his skin before we administer the entire immunization to him. After all the fun we've had this year, there's a very good chance we'll be skipping the flu shot next fall.
