allergies

Because of Jake's recent ear infections and previous allergies, we had him tested to see exactly what makes him so miserable.  Turns out he is allergic to:

• cats
• dogs
• trees
• grass
• dust

So basically he's allergic to something from mid-January to November.

We are going to start shot treatments which will take about 5-6 years--just in time to send him off on his mission.

 Before the test

 and after

As we told him, it's a bummer, but it's better than being allergic to foods which is not treatable.  So although he's blowing his nose and popping his ears, he can enjoy some peanut butter and milk!
