A bump in the road......
After dosing Megan is supposed to avoid exercise and do quiet activities for two hours. Well, last night after about an hour and fifteen minutes she went outside to play with friends. The combination of being outside (pollens) and supervised activity where she was a bit active put Megan's system over the edge. Being "a bit" active inside does not seem to be an issue. It is so hard to keep Megan the monkey still for two hours. She had a significant anaphylactic reaction. She ended up having to be admitted to the hospital due to asthma issues from the reaction. Megan has been doing so well with peanut desensitization and we will try to focus on that. It was an ugly reminder of how severe food allergies can be. This reaction made us even more thankful for desensitization and what it will mean for her IN THE END. It has been a heartbreaking set back and very scary. Megan will decrease her peanut amount so that her system is not overtaxed.
