Today Emma went to the allergist to establish her safe at-home dose of peanut butter. From now on she'll eat a measured amount of peanut butter or peanuts every day. She still needs to be careful not to get the pb or peanuts on her skin, though, since the doctor thinks her skin is still sensitive to the allergy. But eating the pb every day should eventually help her skin reactions to subside.Also, the restriction on eating foods that have been manufactured in factories or on shared equipment with peanuts was also lifted. So many foods that were off limits because of where or how they were made, are now OK for her to eat. It's really a big day for her!
