Gulp. I'm scared. and hopeful. According to the peanut component blood testing, he shouldn't react to peanuts. We are going to Mt. Sinai. At least I'm comfortable doing challenges there.

Please keep your fingers crossed for us!

I hope he passes...I'm not sure how to handle exactly if he does, since older DS has a peanut allergy. But I will cross that bridge when I get there!

Thanks guys! Two doses in. So far so good. He hates the taste but mixing with chocolate syrup helped.

No symptoms at all so far. This is surreal.

He finished all doses -- no symptoms!!

Now we wait 2 hours and then we leave. If he doesn't react he's supposed to eat them few times a week. Yikes. Not sure how we will do that. But this is good problem to have right?! We will figure it out. Already feel bad for older ds. Younger ds has now kicked all allergies he shared with older ds.

Congratulations!!  :happydance:

I'm sure some special outings with a parent to the park for a peanut butter treat (granola bar, candy, uncrustables) would be a safe way to do it, whilst the other child gets to do something else with the other parent?  I've heard of a few families doing that.  With many hand wipes and hand/face washing when everyone returns home. 

Not much advice for your other DS, however.  Only hugs and reassurance that it will be ok.
