The allergy testing: If you are a 2 or below (the size of the Hive), you are not considered allergic. If you are a 3 or above you are allergic. A 10 is considered very high. With Eggs Ryan is a 100 and with Nuts he is around a 20. Both extremely high. And a Lima Bean is a 17 (weird huh?). At least Ryan has an excuse not to eat them. Anyway, Ryan scored a 1 with chicken. So we scheduled a Chicken Challenge a.k.a. go to the doctor's with plain chicken and sit there for 3 to 4 hours while Ryan eats it over time. Above is dose 3 and 4 of 4. My mom came out to watch Ethan because I knew he would not make it in a small office for that long. Thanks Mom!
We brought lots of stuff for Ryan to do. Here he is coloring to pass the time.
And here he said he was tired so he was going to take a nap. We also read books, played with a Thomas computer, and played "Go Fish" several times. Ryan was really great. And he passed the test. He can now eat chicken and I am SO excited!! We are going tonight to eat Chicken Nuggets (Ryan's choice). He is so happy! Oh, and Ethan's chicken test came back negative so I was able to try the chicken at home. Ethan ate one piece and did fine, but after the second piece he decided he doesn't like chicken and kept spitting it out. But I think he'll warm up over time. Ethan has NEVER had chicken before. Anyway, as you can tell, we are all really excited to have more than just Beef and Pork at our house. Next we get to try Turkey!
Ryan's preschool class got to dress up for Halloween today. Here they are with Miss M. Ryan does not look happy, but it's because he was shivering. It has been SO freaking cold around here. Hopefully it will warm up for Halloween. Ryan is the pirate on the top left.

How great is that! Seriously, I don't know how you do it with all those allergies. I am glad that they can both have chicken now.
I love the preschool picture. Ms. M is the best. Addelyn loves it there. I hope it warms up for Halloween too. It is way too cold.
It was way cold! Fancy pirate costume very cute! Kyle didn't like the whole picture thing at all! Hooray for chicken nuggets! Take him to chick-fil-a!
Oh my gosh! Yes, we can go to Chick-fil-a. I've never taken my kids there before. YUMMY!
That will be nice to be able to eat chicken nuggets!! I think that is all Cayden will eat right now so we would really be in trouble!!:) BTW, I had my tonsils out Monday morning and then I got to spend last night in the ER and have surgery all over again! I had what happened to Kristin happen! Your worst nightmare!!
Whoa... sounds like a lot of W O R K! I cannot imagine eating only beef and pork. Good luck with the Turkey
