poor james

we spent our morning at the allergist today

james has always had allergies, but this year they have been very bad

it turns out he is allergic to his life:
dogs (we have two)
grass (he is a golfer)
pecan tree pollen (we live on the outside of a pecan orchard)
palo verde & mesquite pollen (all of the trees in our neighborhood)
every common weed

and the list goes on...
he was allergic to over 40 of the 54 allergens he was tested for

we are just so surprised at how used to his allergies he has gotten, the last few weeks he has been on 2 different allergy meds, one antibiotic and 2 nasal sprays and has started to feel some relief

the doctor says weekly allergy shots are in his future
what a bummer, but at least it's manageable
