Allergy Update

Lucy had her visit to the allergist today. You may remember her previous visit to the allergist, discussed here, and when her allergy first presented itself here. We learned today that she is likely no longer allergic to walnuts. This is a bit of good news. She will have a "Walnut Challenge" in a month or so. The doctor suggested that since tree nut allergies are so gnarly, we might not want to just hand her some walnuts at home, so she'll go into the office, try them, and should there be a reaction, the necessary medical assistance will be right there.



But the test also showed that she is *still* allergic to peanuts. Jake sent me this photo of her various tests:

So no Nutter-Butters for this kid, still. Sigh. We were hoping for better news. But as far as Lucy's concerned, the better news is that she's at Friendly's, eating french fries and ice cream. Not too bad.
