milk and cats

We went to the allergist this morning and found out that Grei is allergic to milk and cats but not to dust mites. 95% of kids outgrow their milk allergy by the time they are 4 or 5 years old so we hope that will be the case with us. Grei can eat food containing milk if the dairy is the third or 4th ingredient. In fact it is good for him to eat these things as it will help his body build up an immunity and become less reactive. It is the same situation with the cats. Having them helps him become desensitized. We haven't seen any reaction to the cats - they only tested him for the allergy because we have them.
