/Tracey latex allergy

[Guest guest]

Tracey thank you for your 2 cents worth. To claify, I spoke to the

nrsg and he said has the lowest case/form of tethered spinal

cord injury. He said is not in the class of spina bifida

occulta even though the internist/urologist said that he is in that

group of patients. I had to rethink things, I had 6 weeks

early, placenta abruption, almost bled to death at my home! Guess

because I delievered early his issues were only minor (if you can

even say that about him). Anyways, I worked in the dental field

until I had to stay at home to cather him in Feb. of this year. I

always wondered if he was truly allergic to latex. I use non latex

gloves at home just to try and keep things really sterile even

though I am using the clean method of cathering. I think something

in the hospital during the tethered spinal cord repair touched him

for a prolonged period of time to make him react with his full body

rash and I dont think the amount of latex i had on me from my work

gloves was enough to cause issues with him. Guess time will tell or

an allergy test but your reply today was so intersting and very

smart! Thank you very much!
