Our little man

Tomorrow I am taking Parker to the allergist for a follow up to see if he has made any improvement, but unfortunately his symptoms persist. He has a constant low grade fever and bathroom issues (to spare you the details). His "allergy shiners" (black and blue marks under his eyes) never fully go away and often flare. I have yet to be able to pinpoint anything in particular that causes the symptoms to worsen. The dr. had originally thought he had dust mite allergies and possibly other environmental allergies. He was tested for those as well as food allergies, but he falls into the 25% of kids under 2 who show a negative result despite the possibility of an allergy present. Their immune systems fight the test. So I'm anxious for tomorrow's appt and am hoping for some answers. It saddens us both to watch him go through this and for his little body to be "fighting" something for so long. It frustrates me to be possibly exposing him to something that his body is rejecting and not agreeing with.
