Nothing=good and bad

Wow, it literally took me 3.5 hours to get caught up on everyone's posts tonight!! Whew! I'm worn out! But I must blog before I hit the sack since it is 10:30 and a school/work night!

The reason:

Sterling has been getting this red, nasty rash just around his mouth after eating certain things. What are those certain things you might ask? Well, that's what we would like to know as well. So we take him to get allergy tested today. UGH!

Since he has a slight (ok, extreme) anxiety for doctors offices right now, (you know since he threw up all over the place because he was getting his blood drawn for allergy testing at his doctors office a few weeks ago but they couldn't find the vein and were wiggling the needle around under his skin, while we were having to pin him down. So he got so upset and threw up all over Heath and some on the nurses! Ya know that probably doesn't have anything to do with it at all! I don't think I posted about that...too dramatic!) the whole 2.5 hours spent at the allergy specialist today was some great fun, let me tell ya! (please insert a VERY sarcastic tone here)

here he is not having the slightest clue what is about to take place Now he has some sort of clue because we told him it was going to be a few little "brushes" on his back to see what he is allergic to...here's what he kept doing while waiting! And it's time to start!! This child is so stinkin strong. I didn't get to take very many pictures because I had to help Heath hold him still. He was FREAKING out in this picture! We even pulled a trash can near by for the "just in case"! 36 pricks later....

They actually had a TV in there and you can pick out a movie to watch while you are waiting...how cool is that! So Sterling is watching "Chicken Little" while we wait the 15 min to see the results.

And here's the end result.... NOTHING!

Which is good an bad at the same time. Now we just have to figure out what is causing this rash. It goes away when you put hydrocortizone cream. We just have to watch and see what he touches or puts in his mouth and see if we can tell what it is. Great. Worn out after all that hard work. Oh, we went running/walking when we got home. This was taken at 7:00...a very rare occurrence in the Brown house!
