Tracking Calista's Peanut Allergy Desensitization treatment with Dr. Wasserman at Dallas Allergy & Immunology. Calista is now 8 years old and was diagnosed with a life-threatening food allergy before her 1st birthday. She is allergic to peanuts and tree nuts.

Another setback (or setback #1 continues)
Calista was wheezing last Friday at her increase appointment. She has never been diagnosed with asthma, but has had wheezing before. As a precaution, Dr. Wasserman prescribed allergy medications, puffers, a nebulizer...all sorts of stuff. After six days in the "yellow zone" with only a little improvement, we added another prescription today. We have to get this stuff under control before we can increase her dose. Increasing while she has allergy/asthma issues is more likely to cause a reaction. I am disappointed that we aren't increasing, but I know that Dr. Wasserman is trying to help Calista and rushing through this will not help anyone. Keeping my fingers crossed that we can return next Friday.
