Tonight I overheard a conversation that B was having with my husband. She said "dad, when I am done with my peanut thearpy, I want to get a dog... but before I get a dog I want to go eat at chik-fil-A, and then I want to go to dunkin donuts and get a doughnut for dessert... then we can go to petsmart and get a dog." I couldn't help but smile. This is the life she has wanted but has never complained about not having. She has handled her allergies with the grace of an adult, never complaining about the things she has had to avoid. Now, a whole new world will be open for her to explore. I am so excited about that, and more importantly... so is she!
B has completed her time on her 400 and 500mgms doses and is now on 600mgms of peanut flour and will increase to 900 mgms next week. It seems as if the days are starting to speed up the closer we get to her goal of 2400 mgms. If she stays on track, doesn't get sick or have to down dose, she should be in maintenance by the middle of June! B is still a year and some months away from graduating the program, but she is well on her way!
B hasn't had any issues with her up-dosing appointments, nor has she had any issues taking her doses at home. Everything is going extremely well, and we never take for granted how very blessed we are to have her enrolled in this therapy!
