Allergist appointment today

So mommy made me an allergist appointment today.  But we didn't go back to Dr. Alpan.  We tried a new doctor and I think mommy and daddy really liked her.  My appointment was at 1:30pm.  Since we hung out with Mrs. Martha, Megan and Matt yesterday, I got off my schedule a bit.  I slept in the morning till almost 10am but I'm normally I'm napping at 1:00 so I'm a little off right now.  I hung in as long as I could but mommy and daddy were talking to the allergist till 3:15.  Yes, the actual doctor talked to mommy and daddy about me for almost 2 hours.  They discussed everything from the day I was born, when the eczema began, the crazy itching fits, what foods I ate and what's going on with me now.  Mommy had all my medical records for her to review and she was sad to see that my allergies are real and pretty high.  So to make a long story short, this is the 4-1-1.  For 2 weeks I will only eat the following:
breakfast - cream of rice cereal 
Lunch and dinner - I get a choice of chicken or beef
-  veggies - carrots or broccoli
-  fruit - cooked apples or pears
    -  Rice or potato
Although this looks easy, mommy hates the fact that I have to eat the same food over and over again but we're cleansing my system again.  Thank god it's not that stupid liquid diet.  I'm also taking an oral steroid to clear up the Eczema.  I have scratches all over my body and face and I'm itching like crazy.  I'm also going to take an antihis.... every night for a few weeks as well.
Mommy is definitely stressed but she's happy that I'm healthy and this is temporary till we figure out the next step.
