Oral Challenge #2

Today Lukas had his second oral challenge. It was much easier to get him to eat a peanut M&M this time...after he chomped it down, he said, "Now I can eat as many peanuts as I want." I had to tell him that we have to test him many more times before we can say that.

Praise God, no reaction!

Every time I consider giving him a peanut, I have to think what my schedule is for the day and how an allergic reaction would impact that. Natalie's therapy was canceled today, so it was the perfect opportunity. I'm trying to space oral challenges out by at least a week; today was 1.5 weeks since the last one.

So far, so good, but we still have to be very careful.
