We went to an allergist and got mixed results: the skin test to peanuts came back borderline positive so we were sent for lab work (which was AWFUL with an infant) and it also came back slightly positive. We then scheduled a food challenge for April 30, which is basically a test in the office where they give him a little peanut butter at a time over several hours and see if he has a reaction (in a controlled environment).
What we thought was one allergy to something that can be pretty easily avoided, has grown into a much bigger problem. Kaleb is now having reactions to food that have no nuts at all. Tonight, I gave him 2 incredibly small bites of alfredo pasta. Within minutes, he looked like this (and it got worse after this pic was taken!)
We went back to the allergist last week after several reactions to foods that contained milk, but they didn't want to test him for that. I'm now at a point where I'm just frustrated. I'm seriously afraid to feed my child anything. Will the next reaction be the one where he can't breathe??
My reason for posting is to ask for prayers. We need answers soon (preferably without a lot more dr. appointments and lab work!!) I know God is our healer and I'm trusting him to take care of Kaleb and heal him from this. Please join me in praying.
