Micah still sick...

[HALEY]

No it didn't go good last night, didn't even think about daycare having that damn cat!!!!! He was all stuffed up again last night, i think its the cat!!!.... he was cranky and miserable.. I might have to find a nother new daycare for Micah!! I'm going to see how he is this weekend, if he's not suffy. or nose running then i know for sure he is allergic to cats... She puts the cat upstairs when the kids are there but still,, i even forgot she had that cat til i called Mike and he said it might be the cat they have.. My mother even thinks its the cat... might be...
oh crap,,, im going backwards instead of forwards here... I told her at daycare today to make sure that cat is far away from my child and she said its always upstairs when the kids are here..

I just can't believe that a daycare center could have cats.

My DIL, Emily, and almost 6yo g-daughter, Abby, break out if they're in a room where a cat has been. They can't even get within 10 feet of one outside. Cats and rabbits really affect them badly.

Once, Emily flew to be in a college friend's wedding, not knowing there were two cats in the house. The friend had forgotten that Emily was highly allergic. She took her meds and tried to stay there, but it got to the point that she almost couldn't breathe, so she escaped to a hotel.

Donna,
I have two yorkies, but as most of you already know they are non-shedding dogs that is the only reason i got these dogs cause i have bad allergies too, i bath these dogs once a week also, and i keep my house very clean, i mop every day, dust 2-3 times a week, run the sweeper every other day, plus clean the bathroom, wash bed sheets twice a week, just to keep the dust down in the house cause of my allergies, i also have an air purifier, and change the furance filters and air filters every change of season, which gets expensive, but worth the money. now with micah having them, its crazy,, i been watching him very close to see what triggers them, i'm writing down everything... so we will just have to see what happens, i did notice his nose getting all stuffy, monday night, that was from being in daycare all day, that's why i think its the cat, could be wrong...

Haley,

You are just getting ran though the mill here. I hope things get better soon.
They don't need for you to get down as well. When my son was 2 they tested him for allergies but that was 19 years ago and they did it where I had to hold him
and they did the tests on his arms. Found out he was allergic to dust, ragweed and grass pollens. Your still in my prayers.

I wonder why they aren't doing it until he is 4 years old? is there a reason they changed it? i really want to take him to a specialist, but i need my peditrican to send me to one for my insurance to pay for it!

i do most of my cleaning that i can in the morning (4 am) while micah is sleeping, run home at lunch or at night.. its very hard, Micah did help me bath the dogs last night he's so helpful. and yes my dogs are always shaved.... i use to do the fancy bows and dress them up.. but that life is way over for me, i can't even find time to dress myself up let alone dogs...

[Ponyup]

i read somewhere a long time ago that you can be allergic to cats, but not dogs; but not the other way around. When someone is severely allegic to cats it's usually do to like a protein or something in there salava. & with the way cats clean themselves & everything else that's why people can't be anywhere near them. The congestion could be causing the ear pain. When my sinuses get bad my whole head hurts, my cheeks & forward are the worst, but it sometimes gets to my ears too. Plus with this up & down whether lately my sinuses are going nuts from that too.

I am allergic to cats.. its their dander... Even if a cat is put away but it roams there at other times.. The cat hair is around.. Don't want to upset you but that can be your problem.... Give him a hug and kiss from me.. Poor little guy..

Haley, if it does turn out to be the cats, please don't blame yourself too much for not thinking of this sooner. You are being a fantastic mom and we all do our very best as we go along this wonderous adventure. We all look back and say if we'd only done this, if we'd only thought of that. Don't do that to yourself. Micah loves you and your doing an amazing job!!!

So sincerely hope that things get better very soon!!
