Allergy testing

After an incident with an avocado, balloon and penicillin Gus today had allergy testing done at the hospital. He had a skin prick test which involves drops of different allergens onto his skin then 'pricking' them to make sure they get right under his skin. Results were inconclusive (however we now know he is definitely not allergic to peanuts so bring on the peanut butter, chestnuts and some others are still to be confirmed though, as is that deadly kiwi!). This means he will be having some blood tests too. 

He didn't mind the prodding and poking too much although there were obviously some tears and did get to play with some new toys and different children while waiting.
