Cockroach Poop?

So yesterday Dylan had his 9 month check-up/allergy follow-up/very sick check-up. First things first. Dylan weighs in at 21.8lbs and I'm just now realizing that I have no idea how tall he measured. Hmm, I'll have to call and check on that. Anyway, since he's sick I can't really say everything looks good, but nothing looks abnormal so that's good. He does have a cold and the fever he's been running is from an ear infection in the left ear. We're getting him some antibiotics and we'll have him fixed up in a jiffy. Yay for no swine flu!

Now, on to the disturbing part. The results of the allergy panel say that he's allergic to dust mites and COCKROACH POOP! Gross! I'm sure just reading those words made you shudder, didn't it? Now apparently those are 2 very common allergens BUT it's still GROSS! I assured the doctor that we don't have roaches, we have Middleton, they make sure we don't. I'm not a bad mom! I don't let my son play in cockroach poop! (Although Dylan did find an old roach motel under the couch...dang it). After assuring me that she didn't think I was an unfit mother or that there were piles of poop around my house, she suggested that it was probably the dust mites giving him the problems. Now I can't deny the dust. It's impossible to get rid of, especially when you have dogs. So I do my best but it's a losing battle. I'm to vacuum every week and keep with the Allegra and that's about it. So just to recap, I don't have an infestation of cockroach poop, I do have an infestation of dust and of the 2 I think that's the winner. And just so you know, many of you reading this are actually allergic to cockroach poop too. :)
