Baked Milk Challenge Part 2

The day is finally here. In a few hours we will start the test at his Allergist's office. Yesterday I made the muffins for the test. I have to say it was strange making food for Drama with Milk in it, something we have diligently avoided for ten years.

We arrived at the Allergy Asthma and Sinus Center and was taken back at 8:30am. The nurse took his weight, height, and vitals. His peak flow meter score was better today than last visit.

The Allergist came in and did an exam. She cut his muffin that I baked into 4 quarters and gave him his first dose which was 1/8 of a quarter. He ate it after some persuasion on both our parts. She then set a timer for 15 minutes and told me if he started having any symptoms to come and get her.

He was very nervous and didn't like the taste either.

Every fifteen minutes the nurse took vitals and the Allergist gave him an increased dose the first two doses were an 1/8 of a quarter then he had 1/2 of a quarter, a whole quarter, then quarter and a half for the last dose.

I asked his Allergist if he could have his allergy shots today and she said No because if he had a reaction we wouldn't know if it was from the shots or the muffin. So we will get our shots in a couple of days.

HE PASSED THE TEST!!!

He made it through the test just fine. I brought books and his iPad to keep him occupied. For now he can have home baked goods. In two weeks we can try store items like cheese crackers, cinnamon rolls, etc. He is still allergic to milk, he can just tolerate baked milk and eating it will boost his immunity to where we can try cheese pizza in two months and after incorporating baked cheese for a while he can try drinking a glass of milk.

It will definitely open up some food options for him, but he will still be limited since most things that have milk in them also have eggs and he is still too allergic to egg to try the baked egg challenge.
