We’ve been wondering why it is that the boys are sick all the time, but mysteriously were not sick at all in Indiana. I almost hate to admit it, but my mom and dad were right – AGAIN! They have been giving me a hard time for years about our 2 cats and claiming that the boys were allergic to them. I thought they were crazy, but I secretly hoped they were right since I had grown tired of cleaning up after the cats. I wanted my house clean again and didn’t have time to pet the cats anyway. Well, only because we had met our $12,000 family out-of-pocket maximum for the year, I decided to have Jude tested for allergies. His allergies are:
1. Cats – off the charts allergy
2. Dogs – very high allergy
3. Horses – high allergy
4. Outdoor mold – allergy, but 70 times less than his cat allergy
The allergy doctor has recommended that Jude stay away from cats, dogs and horses. Although it appears that I will get my way (a cat free house), I’m not sure that I like it (yes, I’m hard to please). Jude has bonded with the cats and I hate to disrupt his life with everything he has been through. Andy gave Jude the preliminary report to Jude that he is allergic to cats and Jude busted into tears and even said he would “take pokes†to get to keep the cats.
