Friday we took Leyton into see an Allergy Specialist. They did the testing on his back this is what it looked like when we got home. It was so sad I had to hold him and it was not fun. I think there was like 37 different things they tested for...so 37 different scratches on his back :( Poor little guy. We already knew that he was allergic to milk but he is also allergic to eggs. And for some reason tested positive to beef and some different vegies. The Dr. thought that maybe because he was squirming around when the nurse was doing it that maybe some got crossed over. He won't eat beef so I really have no idea if he is allergic to it or not. 
The good news is that he has an 85% chance of growing out of it...but who knows when. We are hoping sooner rather than later. For now we will just avoid all milk products and eggs. I did however get a little epi-pen in case he ever gets something that causes him to stop breathing. He also told us that if by accident he eats something... I don't have to wait for him to react I can just give him some benedryl and for allergic reactions I can double the dose.
So I guess it was some worth it. I got more information then from his pediatrician, but I felt really bad that I was putting him through it at only 2.
What a year!

Oh the poor little baby! That must have been terrible for you too! At least now you know what he's allergic too! We will keep him in our prayer! I hope he grows out of these!
Oh my gosh! I hope he is okay! looks like he deserved some chicken nuggets!
Oh my goodness, poor little man!!
Sad, I've never seen the test (or the results of it) before. That's so ahrd to watch I'm sure. I'm glad you were able to get some info from though.
Poor little guy! I had exactly the same thing, allergic to eggs and milk. I grew out of being allergic to milk, but the eggs still get me. Not too bad though! I bet he grows out of it!
Oh my gosh, I bet that was way harder for you than him. Even with all that scratching, it would be SO hard to have to hold him and let them do it. Poor guy! I'm glad they figured it out and that he will probably grow out of it.
Poor little guy. I hope he feels better soon. But it will be nice to know what he shouldn't eat rather then rushing him the the hospital huh?!
Poor kid (and Poor Mommy)!
Wow, he looks like a human pin cushion :( Poor little guy!!
