We saw the paed today.
Inigo is growing, hitting and exceeding developmental milestones (who knew that pulling socks off was a milestone?), has perfect blood pressure, excellent hip joints, good weight (even despite the last week of food refusal), and an excellent vocabulary.
And he’s also allergic to Rockmelon (cantaloupe). Which I find very odd, but there you have it.
Inigo after eating Rockmelon in early March. He had it before this with no reaction. I tried again in April, and the reaction was much worse. Yes Donna, that is a squeezy polar bear bath toy…
Tomorrow I have to book him in for a nasty test at the end of June, and then we will know if the reflux has resolved itself and he can stop taking his daily cocktail of anti-biotics. Until then, carry on as usual…
And no, I still haven’t given him any chicken, fish, or lamb. As far as I know, they are still animal corpses!

Did the paed give you a hard time about vegetarianism again?

Not really, just asked again if I had given him any “chicken, fish or lamb”. Despite wishing I had a smart-arsed comment up my sleeve, I just said, nope, but he has lots of lentils. And could poo for Australia 😉
Clearly she doesn’t think it is the same, but we’ll just have to agree to disagree….
Also the allergy was much worse the second time (the photo was the first time). Welts/hives and all. I’m actually scared of how bad it might be if he has it a third time.

I can’t see your pics any more! No fair! Want to see swollen child!
Not really, but miss seeing your pics.
Crappy re the horrible test. But sure you and he will cope fine this year…

Link fixed 🙂 Though you may be disappointed – I didn’t get a picture of when it was really bad (too freaked out that he would stop breathing).
