Food Challenge

We went back to the allergist today for our next food challenge. Rylee did great! They doubled the amount of peanut flour and she did not have a reaction. We will continue to give her the new dose twice a day for a week and go back next Monday.

We also gave the girls the H1N1 vaccine while we were there. We were a bit hesitant to give it to them, but after discussing it at length with our allergist (and I had a previous discussion with our pediatrician), we went ahead. It is the one that they squirt up their nose. They will have another dose of it in one month. They will save the second dose for us because they do not know when they will get more. They only received 30 doses. After hearing of the deaths of children in DFW, we feel like we made the right decision.

I'm glad Rylee did so well with her increased dosage. She is being really brave!
