How hard was it and how did you come the realization that you wanted to participate in the trial? Did you fear any risks? Or did you just "feel" it was the right thing to do?<br /><br />Thanks for sharing your life us, perfect strangers and yet your community sending you well wishes!Gratefulfoodiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03485736171544867945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-631492063252179728.post-4908621830048106782012-08-12T13:30:41.744-04:002012-08-12T13:30:41.744-04:00Thanks again everyone!

I sh...@Stephanie - you bring up a very good point. I should write another post pointing out that the majority of the kids in our study are having to go 5 years instead of the original 3. Only a handful have been able to complete the challenge. There are risks including a very small chance of EE. Also, I'm a huge advocate of going through a research center for treatment. There is still so much the doctors don't know, but they do know that it takes time to build desensitization/tolerance. I don't want to give any impression to anyone that this is something that can be done at home or even hurried through in a medical practice with little to no experience. We were extremely blessed that Abigail was one of the few that was able to complete the challenges at this point in the trial.Mom with a Missionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05866959253295136237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-631492063252179728.post-76645941268871060282012-08-08T17:27:38.115-04:002012-08-08T17:27:38.115-04:00I just like to throw this out there- this is not s...I just like to throw this out there- this is not successful for all children. My daughter did this several years ago & wound up very sick & developed EE. There are children who develop EE from this & they do not know how to determine which kids will or which kids will not. <br />Congratulations - happy for your family!<br /><br />StephanieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-631492063252179728.post-31727814093355199612012-08-08T16:34:39.397-04:002012-08-08T16:34:39.397-04:00Thanks everyone!

She loved them and marveled at how good they were. Her younger brother and I joined her. It's been a really, really long time since I could openly enjoy a peanut treat!<br /><br />@Kenneth - thanks for the praise. Can't provide info. or endorsement of your product when never used it.<br /><br />@Susan - My sweet boy is starting Kindergarten. My extra time will be spent in mentally preparing for the time I have to walk him into school and then make my exit before breaking into tears. :)<br /><br />@Lissa - So far, she's loved the peanut butter treats...they've all included chocolate. :) Going to purchase some honey roasted peanuts for her to try. At some point in the future, her daily dose can't be all about the chocolate.Mom with a Missionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05866959253295136237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-631492063252179728.post-45327203011801907922012-08-08T16:21:37.444-04:002012-08-08T16:21:37.444-04:00Crying here - so happy for you guys!!!!
