Hurray for Anya

Well Anya had her follow up appointment with the doctor and her lungs were clear! Wow, it's been awhile since a doctor told her that. We also reviewed her RAST (allergy test) and she scored very very low on a wheat allergy and slightly higher on egg whites. No other allergies showed up and they tested so much (milk, soy, peanuts, mold, dust mites, . . .). Both the wheat and egg white scores were not high enough to constitute an allergy that could be causing the breathing problems. So she's clear to eat products containing wheat and baked goods with eggs in it but we'll shy away from hard boiled eggs and scrambled eggs (which she's happy about because she doesn't like eggs). So from here she stays on a maintence breathing medicine for two months and then is reevaluated and if her lungs are still clear she can stop the nebulizer. It was the most possitive doctors visit we've had in a long long time.
