Paging Zizzle

Hi Z!

Dr. Robert Wood, Chief of the Division of Allergy/Immunology at the Johns Hopkins Children's Hospital, has done numerous studies on oral/sublingual immunotherapy. The number to request an appt. is 410-735-4872. Perhaps you could call and inquire about pediatricians in the community who may be offering this service.

Hugs,

Polly

P.S. I am all for any therapies that reduce the number of invasive procedures for kids. I have always been upset about the incredible number of immunization injections we subject kids to. Surely a researcher could figure out a way to combine them. Sigh.

Thanks Polly! Great lead!!

I'm looking forward to the end of tree pollen season. Any day now I hope. Although all the congestion has lead to a junky cough and occasional rattling chest.

Tree pollens just kicking into gear here! Hope you're done soon. My allergy *and* digestive symptoms were better today. They got worse together, and then better... interesting.

Hope the cough/chest rattle are resolving fast (and hope no digestive symptoms accompany).

Sorry I didn't specify...
The cough and rattling chest are happening to my 3 yr old girl, not me. I don't have pollen allergies, and I'm so thankful I don't. My hubby and daughter have really suffered this season!

Sorry, Z - I did remember that it was your little girl who suffered with the seasonal stuff... but didn't word that very clearly.

Hope you're well, too! A 3yo with chest congestion must be hard on you, too.
