Boys Town Allergy & Asthma Appointment


Philomena is allergic to dust mites, dogs, and trees.  This is less than the last time she was tested in 2020 so the allergy shots are still having a helpful effect from when she did those.  She's not allergic to any foods.  She was tested and diagnosed with mild exercise induced asthma.  She's now using an inhaler and is feeling better when she has to do physical activities.  Next is her appointment with a gastroenterologist.  We're hoping to figure out more about her stomachaches and anything related to her episodes.  She's already seen a behavioral pediatrician that specializes in autism at Boys Town.  Based on his questions and what she was able to tell me in the days following that appointment, she's identified 4 times these episodes have happened.  He's now referred her to a psychiatrist and that appointment is Dec 3rd.  We're getting to know the Boys Town facilities really well!
