allergies, yuk!!

jackson's allergies this season are the worst we have ever seen them and it is truly been heartbreaking as a parent to see what he has to endure. it has gotten so very bad, that we finally said he needs to see a specialist for the allergies and eczema. we made the appointment and all i can say is, we are so very thankful. we got answers (not what we had wished for) and hopefully a remedy to treat the symptoms. Unfortunately, jman's allergies to all outside triggers are so severe, so much so, that he will probably fight them for the long hall! We send praise to Dr.Joshi, the amazing allergist and kindest, most thorough dr we have ever come across. Please cross your fingers that we can control the allergies with no shots and just other meds.
