A good time to post an update on Ben's peanut allergy

Ben had an appointment with his new allergist on July 13th (last Monday). He only showed the slightest response to the skin prick (historically he's always had a very strong response to the peanut skin prick). The allergist then retested with actual peanut butter, same result. The doctor was optimistic. He ordered blood work (RAST) and said if it was negative that he would schedule a food challenge at Sick Kids Hospital in Toronto.

Fast forward to today.

The allergist's office called to say they got the results and they were negative (<0.35 KU/L) and they are submitting a request for a food challenge. It will take about two weeks to get the appointment and the challenge itself isn't likely to take place for a few months, so in the fall.

I'm hopeful and nervous. We have everything crossed for Ben.
