6 Months of OIT - Celebrating the Victories!!!

First, I apologize - life is busy, and constantly changing.  With the failing health of my father and his death, I have not found the time or mental energy to write about our journey.

Thankfully, I have nothing negative to report.  We have had absolutely no real issues with OIT.

Tori is now "bite proof" for pistachios and cashews.  Faith is struggling with today's updose - 1 pistachio and 2 "tads" of cashew - Hunter moving up to the next level of pistachio/cashew flour.

The New Year will bring NEW freedom for Faith and Hunter.  They will be bite proof for pistachios and cashews and we will find out if they are allergic to other Tree nuts at that time.

Studies show that many times after desensitizing the worst nut allergy, the immune system reboots and the other allergies are gone.  Praying this is the case for Faith and Hunter🙏until then we thank GOD and celebrate the victories along the way🎉🎉🎉

I will attempt to update more often.

If you are reading this and know someone with food allergies, please know there is HOPE!  All three of our kids have experienced severe allergic reactions.  I thought OIT would be stressful and we would have setbacks.  It couldn't be going better!  For more information about OIT you can visit Dr. Chad Mayer's website  www.oitcenter.com

THERE IS HOPE!
