Hi-
We did not do a test because her testing is so off-the-charts, and because (I think) our program isn't research. We are just following a protocol that seems to be working for a lot of kids. There also isn't an expected time for a kid to react, from what I can tell. When the group was developing the protocol, and if they observed a trend, they would change the protocol (ie., if all kids reacted at xxxml of peanut, they would add an interim dose).
That being said, it is a lot of work for us because we live far away. However, if it were local, it's really not that bad. It's an hour and a half office visit every week for 4 months.
Also, I'll add that it is very strange to be doing this treatment. It is a huge change to avoid any trace of peanut, and then to be giving your kid increasing amounts very quickly. I can't really get over it, and I am of course waiting for a reaction. I will be certainly be looking out for the half-peanut.
Does that help?
