Allergies are a good thing?

Well they are when the other options are central line infections and out of control bacterial overgrowth. John has had a hacking cough and started puking in the night, for all the world it looked like allergies/cold but with a central line parked in his chest we couldn't just ignore this and so took him to see his pediatrician, Dr. Beal, in Columbia who is amazing! Hip hip hooray, it's allergies, now those still aren't funny but at least they aren't running at top speed to the er scary either. So tonight on the way home John was giggling and carrying on in the back seat even though he has thrown up a few more times, darn snot, and then when we got home and dad accidentally broke the already cracked garage door window John thought it was the funniest thing he'd ever seen. He was signing to me 'dad knock-knock break break break' and then went off giggling. What a silly little stinker!
