Life with Allergies

Generally speaking, Ben handles his allergies to tree nuts and peanuts really well. He is cautious about eating things people give him or eating at restaurants. We feel grateful there have not been any reactions in several years, but realize it is largely due to efforts to avoid all nuts or items made on machines with nuts.

Today was one of those days when he had to be brave and let them take his blood. He is comfortable with the Lab team, and really doesn't complain. We're all praying for some improvement in his levels so at least it won't be so life-threatening if he had a nut by mistake sometime. We'll let you know what the professionals think about his status in the months ahead.
