It has been almost F.O.U.R. A.N.D. A. H.A.L.F (4 1/2) years since we began Abbie's allergy desensitization shots. And, on Tuesday she received her FINAL set of 4 'sticks'.
It's a day to C.E.L.B.R.A.T.E. Seriously!
It all started shortly before she turned 9 & started 5th grade - she just couldn't seem to recover from sinus infections. We went through antibiotic after antibiotic, and finally saw a specialist who recommended that she be tested for allergies. Sure enough, she was highly allergic to grass, trees & cats, among other things.
We figure she has survived over 476 pokes,
and trekked to Dr. Berger's office at least 112 times.
We are liberated!
P.S. She is basically symptom-free (except for those darn cats) -- I call that a mission accomplished.

That is so major. I'm not kidding either. I know it's been a battle/journey.
SO worth it though. As one who takes allergy pills & nasal spray everyday, I wish I'd gone through the shots. Maybe I still can, who knows.
I'm sure my boys need to undergo the shot torture. Life is just different right now...
Way to go Abs of steel!
