Allergy Success!

Tommy and I arrived at the Dr.'s office at 7:45 a.m. this morning to begin his food challenge. We started with a waffle, he ate 1/4 of it and then we waited for 20 minutes to see if his body recognized the milk in those pieces of waffle We continue on to complete the waffle with no reaction. We then waited an hour to be sure that his body was not going to react. Next was the muffin. Tommy will tell you that the muffin tasted much better than the waffle. We broke it down to 4 sections with corresponding 20 minute wait intervals. After no reaction we then waited for another hour to be sure that his body did not have a delayed reaction. Finally at 1:20 p.m. we were discharged with great success. Tommy can now begin to introduce milk in baked goods into his diet. He is still allergic to raw milk and he cannot eat any cheese, sour cream, cream based soups and other products where milk is listed as one of the first 3 ingredients on the label. However this is huge progress and the Dr. believes that if we begin to introduce milk inside a baked good 3 times a day that his body will begin to outgrow the milk allergy! Healing from God, THANK HIM!

That's AWESOME (as in God's awesome power)! What an exciting change for Tommy and your entire family.

Elizabeth mentioned this in the car a few days ago, and later when we were all in the living room, Brooke announced that her baby was going to have a food challenge for milk. Shortly after she called Tommy to confirm that they were still having 16 babies when they grow-up. You have to smile at how she processed all of that! :)
