Earlier this year, Parker went back to the allergist for some more testing of his allergies. We were ecstatic to find out that his skin test and blood tests came back "low" for peanuts, so the doctor recommended a food challenge.
1. Rub peanut butter on lips and rub off. Wait 15 minutes.
2. Rub peanut butter on tongue and wipe off. Wait 15 minutes.
3. Rub peanut butter on tongue and don't wipe off. Wait 15 minutes.
4. Ingest a small amount of peanut butter. Wait 15 minutes.
5. Spoon-full o' peanut butter. Wait 15 minutes.
YAY! We can eat peanuts!!! He was SUCH a trooper at the doctor! It was a long appointment, and every 15 minutes he had his blood pressure, oxygen level and heart rate checked. He never complained once!!!
