It’s been three months since my last trip to California.  We were scheduled to go back this week, but the Food Allergy Institute would like for me to continue to increase my dosage of peanuts at home before coming back. This decision was made after they looked at my lab work for peanuts that we had done locally. I will escalate for another eight weeks to 14 peanuts at home and then will challenge 22 peanuts at my next appointment in August. Unfortunately, another eight weeks means I will have to miss my third day of school as a senior.

Now, the good news. Since I cleared egg in March, I continue to try foods I was not able to eat in the past. Just this week, I ate at Waffle House and Krispy Kreme for the first time!
