The test didn't go well.

The doc asked us to give Maayan 10cc milk and wait 2 hours in the office.  We filled her
bottle with the required amount and tried to make her drink it.  She only drank a tiny
amount but several minutes later developed a bright red rash on her chin and cheeks and
started coughing a little.  Life is hard.
