My Allergy Kid

Well, Mason had his bi-annual appointment in August where they did the skin test as well as his blood work. We got GREAT news!!! Mason has outgrown his tree nut allergy!!! As for the other allergens, the rusults were as follows:

Milk: down from 1.71 to .78

Egg: down from 4.70 to 2.43

Peanut: steady at 4.91

His environmental allergens all stayed the same as they were previously, but as noted before, those are easier to manage and I’m much less concerned with those. For people who want to know what those numbers mean…well, I’m not exactly sure. All I know is that anything over “0″ is a positive and anything less than 1.0 can be challenged. We’re going to set up an appointment to challenge the milk again. But my nerves are going full force after last year’s anaphylactic response. But his numbers are much better so that is a plus. We’ll see!

He’s hanging in there and growing strong. I’m amazed and my little boy!
