Annual OIT

Robbie had his annual OIT appointment.  Since his blood work and other labs in November were so good the doctor wanted him to do another peanut challenge: 150 peanuts! 
 

He took them in 50 peanut increments-  he had 50 peanut m&ms first.

Then he gets his heart rate up and they check his vitals.

Then he had his second round of 50 peanut m&ms and exercised again.

 

For his last 50 peanuts, they crushed them up and baked them in a chocolate brownie.  These were the hardest for him to eat.  He had already had 100 peanuts plus the brownies are dense. 


 He did it though!  All in about 1.5 hrs and never had even the slightest reaction.  It's such a miracle that he can do this!  Now he has a 60 peanut dose every other week instead of weekly.  He's worked so hard for this and we are grateful for this program!

Basketball Season

 Robbie's basketball season is coming to an end and Tom's is just beginning.  We sure love watching these boys play!
