Day 1

Kaylie and I packed our bags for our 7 hour appointment to begin the oral food challenge of giving her extremely small doses of peanut flour through out the day. Not knowing exactly what to expect I was extremely nervous! The first time they gave her the first dose she stood up and announced "I just ate some peanut!" Although VERY diluted, it was a HUGE accomplishment for her and I both! We felt like we were taking that leap of faith and we survived the first dose! As the day went on, they continued to give her increased doses every 15 minutes, monitoring her very closing all day. It was a long day, and I think we played at least 40 games on UNO, of which Kaylie won 39 :) I panicked every time she sneezed or sniffled. Dr. Jones and his staff were so kind and understanding and answered all my MANY questions. I felt such an exciting energy in the room with the other moms that I met, and I felt so good to be part of such a miraculous opportunity!
