Allergist seemed to think that this year's spt was smaller.
I'm not sure it was significant, honestly, since the histamine control was also pretty small and we suspect that the reduced skin reactivity was due to a dose of benadryl about 86 hours prior.

Remember, numbers don't mean anything, really. They aren't directly related to the clinical response in a direct, cause-and-effect manner.
In studies of oral desensitization, RAST values initially ROSE significantly during dosing-- sometimes really dramatically-- before eventually beginning a long, slow fall.
According to our allergist, this pattern seems to repeat in kids being dosed with baked egg or milk. It's why he won't do another RAST on DD for several yearss (if ever).
Because the numbers really don't signify anything in clinical terms, I don't see much point in acquiring them at this point.
In plain terms, I could care less what the numbers are. Treating with baked egg has helped QUALITY OF LIFE in terms of reduced sensitivity. That's all the evidence we need.
