More Peanut Progress!!



Yesterday - Matthew ate just over 300mg of peanut flour - or roughly the equivalent to ONE ENTIRE PEANUT! This is a really, really big deal!!

It's taken a long time to get to this milestone. He started at 3mg in March of this year... so to get to 10 times that amount has taken 7 months. We have to get to FOUR THOUSAND milligrams before he's considered maintenance dose... moving forward, the 25% increases every other week will start to ramp up his numbers really quickly.

He is tolerating very well... no symptoms cropping up, and heck - he's not even whining about the taste! =)

We are still very diligent about watching labels and checking ingredients... although I will say that the labels that state "manufactured in a facility that also processes..." are ones we are letting through now. In the past - no way. But now - we feel like the "may contain" is where the line in the sand is.

YAY Mattie!!! SO PROUD of you for sticking this out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
