Moving along!!!

Tomorrow Megan will move up to 3 peanuts twice a day!!!! I can hardly believe it. In 8 weeks she will be done with her PEANUT DESENSITIZATION!!! This week is 3 peanuts then in the coming weeks 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10 and finally 12 peanuts.

Peanuts, peanuts and more peanuts!!

Today Megan moved up to 2 peanuts twice a day.

Megan ate a PEANUT!!!!

Megan has finally made the jump from peanut flour to peanuts.

Megan not sure what to think about holding a bag of peanuts for the first time.

Megan looking at her peanut. About to eat my first ever PEANUT!!!!

Hmm, I can't believe I am going to eat a peanut.

Some of Dr. Wasserman's oral desensitization patients that have graduated (completed) desensitization.

Last peanut flour dose!!!

Tonight is the last dose of peanut via peanut flour. Tomorrow she moves up to PEANUTS!!!!!!

Tomorrow is a HUGE milestone

Tomorrow is A VERY BIG DAY for Megan!!!!!! Tomorrow Megan eats ONE WHOLE PEANUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so excited. I can hardly believe that this is actually real, pinch me. I will be taking LOTS OF PICTURES FOR THIS BIG EVENT.

Peanut flour

Peanut flour doses of 50mg, 100mg, 175mg, 250mg and 500mg!! Dr. Wasserman has the peanut flour precisely measured out and put into capsule form by a compounding pharmacy so that each and every dose that is taken is the exact amount.

Last week of peanut flour!!!

This week Megan moved up to 500mg of peanut flour. Next week she will start eating peanuts!!!!!!! She will start with 1 peanut and move her way to more each week. I am so very excited for Megan and what this means for her life.

Dose up time

Yesterday Megan went for her every 7 day dose up. She is now taking 250mg of peanut flour. After this week she will have one more week of peanut flour at 500mg and then we are on to the real deal thing, PEANUTS!!! Megan is very excited about this. She is not too fond of the peanut flour. We mix the flour with Hershey's Syrup. But even with the syrup she always has a "shiver of, this is gross" when she takes it. If all continues to go well Megan will finish her peanut desensitization the beginning of August. It is amazing that in one year she will have completed both egg and peanut desensitization. Truly amazing!!! When Megan was first diagnosed I would never have thought that DESENSITIZATION was a possibility. Actually, I had never even heard of it. I am so very grateful for advancements in medicine and to those few doctors willing to embark in such endeavors despite much of the medical community still not in agreement with food desensitization.
