We had a meeting with Dr. Grubbe yesterday to discuss Chloey's allergies. He wasn't concerned with the Pine Trees but the Latex allergy is a different story. He told us that Latex is in pretty much everything from the gloves restaurants use to prepare food to the carpet on your floors. Plus, there are some foods that she might possibly be allergic to just because she suffers from a latex allergy.Right now she isn't showing a severe reaction to it but it could get worse. We have to get rid of anything we think contains Latex and keep an epi pin with us at all time. The Dr. explained to us that the epi pin is like car insurance...you hate to pay for it every year but you sure are glad you have it in case of an emergency.
Right now I'm not really worried about it because she is with us at all time (except at the nursery in church but I know Mrs. Donna will take care of her). I purchased a button to pin on her diaper bag informing everyone she does have a latex allergy. We take her back in 1 year to be retested and also tested for some other things.
Here are just a few pics from the last couple of weeks....
