This little watermelon loving boy can now eat eggs!!! Yeah!! I am so thankful! We had his allergy levels checked last week. It dropped from a high level three to zero. No evidence of an egg allergy at all anymore. We gave him a bite of cookie to test it out. He knew it had eggs in it. At first he was afraid it would make him sick. Once I reassured him that eggs were okay now he pointed to the cookie and shouted, " More EGGS!" Apparently, he thinks "eggs" are really baked goods. Pretty cute!
It does appear that he is allergic to walnuts (positive skin test and RAST) but we will see the allergist on Friday to verify this. He has never had a walnut so I am hoping the doctor will think it is safe to do a food challenge in the office. If he doesn't really react to walnuts I hate to have to tell everyone he is allergic to them. If he is allergic I won't complain too loudly because in the past two weeks we have been able to add eggs, peanuts, and all other tree nuts (except walnuts) back into his diet. What a relief!
