allergy test results

Hi there everyone out in cyber-world. Are you there?
Evelyn and I took Jackson to the Nutritionist yesterday. Jack hasn't really gained any weight since December but he was gotten longer. I'm supposed to try to get more formula into Jack by increasing the rate/hour and dose at night, and the rate/hour and dose during the day. I'm not really sure how we will accomplish this, but we'll be giving it a try. It might take a week or more to get Jack up to where he needs to be, if it still stays in his belly.

I had the Nutritionist pull up the Allergy Test results. According to the results, he was a 1 for Milk, and a 2 for Eggs. I don't really know how many levels there are, but I was told that a 1 usually means that it won't cause a problem, and a 2 means to do trials with different foods that contain that ingredient. Last night, I went online and attempts to do some research on the test that was performed. There are either 5 or 6 different levels. 6 obviously means that death can happen. There is also a false negative and false positive occurrence with the test.
I guess I'll be reading labels more.

Evelyn was a perfect little angel at the appointment. She always is. She brings a bag of Hot Wheel cars each time. She's such a good little girl. . .when we're out in public or when she's at school. It's a different story at home. I'll take it though.

I'm here!

How nice that Evelyn is well-behaved at appointments. She must be smart to know when she really needs to help you out... and then she lets you have it at home.
