Today was Sean's food challenge with eggs. We were there from 10:30 until 2:20!! The appointment started off great! They called us and Sean went in and went straight to the scale. That was a first! Then we went to the room and they took his blood pressure and explained what we were going to be doing. He sat real still for that. Then they brought a tiny bit of egg and put it by his lower lip for a few seconds. He did great with that part too. Then we went down hill fast!
They tried to get him to eat that tiny bit and he REFUSED! They offered ketchup. He yelled he didn't want ketchup. We asked them to bring it anyway and we will try that. They brought him a medicine cup full of ketchup. That child DRANK the ketchup! The nurse had to leave the room to laugh. She said she has never seen a child do that before. Leave it to us! After he drank a bit of ketchup he decided to dip his eggs in there. That whole ordeal took 30 minutes! It felt like hours. After that he ate the eggs with out any problem.
Let me tell you keeping a two year old entertained for that long in a doctor's office is not my idea of fun! He did provide us with some entertainment though. We were in a room that had two sliding glass doors. One of the doors has a mirror on the bottom half that the doctors on the other side can see in, but Sean can't see them. (I can't for the life of me remember what they are called....one way mirror?? two way mirror??) Anyway, he was amusing himself by kissing his reflection and lifting up his shirt. The best move he did that had everyone laughing was when he turned his back to the mirror and turned his head to watch himself shake his rear end!
I am so happy we made it through that with NO REACTIONS!! Life will be so much easier now that we can have eggs again! We are still avoiding wheat and apples. I hope someday we can eat those with no problems.
