<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=2 face=Antique>We are sending No Itchy Drool to
Dewey. This has been a horrible year for allergies.
</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=2 face=Antique>I think that
</FONT></STRONG><STRONG><FONT size=2 face=Antique>the Squirrelastan and
RaTailaban are dropping itchy bombs at an increased paced.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=2 face=Antique></FONT></STRONG> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=2 face=Antique>Sadee Mayee is holding on Claritin 5 mg
twice daily. She wears her t-shirt, gets wiped down </FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=2 face=Antique>frequently </FONT></STRONG><STRONG><FONT
size=2 face=Antique>and I alternate between benadryl cream and lidocaine based
spray when she starts </FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=2 face=Antique>scratching. Luckily with the heat
she limits her own time being outside but I keep the grass
really</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=2 face=Antique>short. She also gets natural
local honey that I change depending on the season. The honey
work</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=2 face=Antique>like desensitzing injections, giving them
just a little bit of the allergen at a time. </FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=2 face=Antique></FONT></STRONG> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=2 face=Antique>The one thing I have found with Sadee
Maye is that her allergies have changed over time. </FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=2 face=Antique>She started </FONT></STRONG><STRONG><FONT
size=2 face=Antique>out with just corn then moved on to wheat and soy.
Luckily her reactions show </FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=2 face=Antique>up fairly quickly and
</FONT></STRONG><STRONG><FONT size=2 face=Antique>I know to eliminate that
food. She has an area just above her nose that </FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=2 face=Antique>swells and her eyes become redder.
</FONT></STRONG><STRONG><FONT size=2 face=Antique>At least once a year I have to
put her on a elimination diet </FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=2 face=Antique>where she recieves 1 protein for a week
then slowly </FONT></STRONG><STRONG><FONT size=2 face=Antique>we add in 1 item
each week. </FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=2 face=Antique></FONT></STRONG> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=2 face=Antique>My baby girl is just like her Momma
and her side of the family. Allergic</FONT></STRONG><STRONG><FONT size=2
face=Antique> to everything! I guess </FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=2 face=Antique>it runs in the
</FONT></STRONG><STRONG><FONT size=2 face=Antique>family.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
