Hurray!

Looks like Cars has outgrown both his egg and milk allergies! No positive skin test. He had blood drawn and we will know next week if he shows any allergy that way. If all is well, we will do a food challenge for eggs (no need to for milk because he eats cheese on pizza and Parmesan Gold Fish crackers with no problems).

Jax was happy for Cars but I could tell he was a little disappointed too because now he is the only one in the family with food allergies. And also because he has never outgrown his egg allergy (though it is slowly tracking that way) whereas Cars has outgrown it with the first re-test.

The doctor filled in the appropriate school forms for Jax's Epi Pen and said he is at the age where he could carry it on his person if we thought he was mature enough to do so. I think we probably will not do that just yet.
