Jan 2012 Peanut Update

We were over at Duke yesterday for the 4 month check up.  I was just reading back - looks like I didn't post the CAP RAST number from late August - it came in at 236.  Still a great drop... he seems to be averaging 20-25% decreases now... He had more blood drawn yesterday so we'll see what that comes in at.

We heard yesterday too - very sad - a first grade girl in VA died on Monday from a peanut reaction at school.  Still being investigated - there was apparently an action plan in place - but obviously it did not work - such a tragedy.

This is the skin testing pic from yesterday: (top left is undiluted peanut - full strength - bottom right is histamine control.)

The enhanced redness to the left of that undiluted peanut is from me scratching all around the test site as he was patiently waiting his 15 minutes for it to be done - that's not extended hive.
