Peanut Butter Bliss

When Easton was two weeks shy of his 1st birthday, he ate a few pieces of my Peanut Butter sandwich. I figured he was close enough to a year anyway.. Soon after he developed a swollen lip, which looked like someone hit him with a baseball! Then he expelled all that he ate onto his Uncle Kenzie (sorry Kenzie!), and then later became blanketed with the worst case of hives EVER!!! His ears ballooned into adult size, and I was worried he wasn't breathing well so we rushed him to the nearest Medical Clinic. They basically told me he had a terrible allergic reaction to Peanut Butter, since that was the ONLY thing that he'd had different that day... So unfortunately he has been deprived of a childhood food staple. Until today. We thought since he is turning 2 soon, we'd see if he's outgrown the allergy. ( Since the Dr told us that happens with children) We served him a small portion of creamy Peanut Butter and a few bites of Emily's PBJ.. He was hooked and begged for more even though he says, "budda sick!" So cute. We waited anxiously with his Prednisilone and benedryl in hand.. NOTHING happened! He went about his normal routine of the day without any symptoms!! I think with a gradual intro to the stuff he'll be cured! Can I say how relieved I am because there is nothing worse than having to make Emily her favorite PBJ and then something different for the little man. Phew! Keep you fingers crossed that it stays in the clear!
