After skipping a week...

Last week, Calista should have increased to 4 peanuts every 12 hours BUT we chose to skip because sometimes you gotta go on a FIELD TRIP!  This treatment is definitely worth all of our effort, expense, etc. but sometimes you need to be a regular old six year old girl.  NOT the 6 year old girl who has a life-threatening allergy to peanuts or the 6 year old girl who travels to Dallas every Friday for desensitization.  You've got to be the 6 year old girl that was allowed to attend a field trip at the water park!


On Sunday, we attended a Texas Rangers baseball game.  We went to one last season too.  This game was MUCH more fun.  I still wiped down her seat and armrests, but I was able to relax (more than before) knowing that she can eat 3 peanuts every 12 hours without reaction.

So, tomorrow we increase to 4 whole peanuts every 12 hours.  She is still enjoying her 5 peanut M&Ms with breakfast and her 5 peanut M&Ms with dinner.  Life is Good!!

  2. Amazing!!! One day you'll have to explain that dosing method? Eli eats 8 peanuts every night at dinnertime. He hasn't gone off peanut doses since he began treatment August/Sept. 2010. Yikes! I know it can be done though.

  3. Liseetsa,

    I'm sorry! I meant that we skipped her regularly scheduled increase appointment. She has still had her peanuts every 12 hours. We typically increase every 7 days.
