Good News-- almost! Maybe, I hope!!!!

So, in case any of you are wondering about how the little man's allergies are doing, we have some news. He is still severely allergic to everything he was before, and we don't get to change anything-- but, there is a but, his levels are going down. We were shocked, our doctor was shocked (yes the same one who gave us little hope of ever ordering the normal way at a restaurant ever again-- you know, straight from the menu), but they are headed in the right direction. So, we go from having almost no chance of outgrowing them, to maybe a little chance. We will hold on to whatever hope we can get.

Although, this really doesn't change life for us at all right now, it is nice to see the levels coming down. There is even a possibility of doing an egg food challenge next year. That means I would actually have to buy eggs for Timmy, and bake them into a cake. Eggs that are baked into something, like a cake, have less chance of a reaction because the protein changes a little. Right now, we can't even risk cross contamination with eggs, baked or not-- so it is a little scary to think about making him something that has eggs in it. I guess I don't really need to think about it too much. But, I do get to hope, and that is so nice.


The nuts and milk have also come down a bit, so that is good-- but no food challenge talk on those, they are still way way way too high. But, down is not too bad.
