I received the results of Calvin's 2nd year of RAST allergy testing today:
Milk was 1.76, it is now 0.67. This is what we were hoping for!
Eggs were 1.83, they are now 1.44, also going down!
Peanuts were 42.7, they are now 70.0. The opposite direction we were hoping for but not entirely surprising.
Other tree nuts, many of them also increased - some that he didn't react to before are now showing a reaction.
DOGS - up to 12.7 but I don't know what last year's number was. We are supposed to keep dogs out of his room and wash his hands and face if he comes into contact with them. I'm surprised about this one because he doesn't have any visable reaction to them when he hugs the dogs. He's 2 years old and sometimes he licks the dogs and no reaction then either. I wonder if he has to eat their fur for a true reaction...
So we will continue to be diligent about avoiding nuts. We are supposed to continue avoiding eggs and milk for another year when he'll be retested.
