See Ya, Egg Allergy!

After three-plus years of an eggless existence, Liam's summer allergy appointment yielded some pretty exciting (egg-citing, perhaps?) news: he outgrew his egg allergy!!

HOORAY!!

He got the green light for an egg challenge after his skin-prick test showed hardly even a red spot let alone a hive for egg.

(It wasn't all good news, however.  In the same test he also showed some reaction to shellfish, which is new territory for us.  But I digress.)

A few weeks later, Liam spent the day with Nana and a cup o' scrambled eggs at the allergist's office, taking them in 1/4 teaspoon at a time until the whole thing was gone.

And HE PASSED!!

We celebrated that weekend by going out for breakfast (something we hadn't done since he was a baby!) where Liam ate a real waffle and enjoyed every bite.

We still have a long road ahead with Liam's allergies, but this one was a game-changer.  As Dr. Wodell said, "Birthday cake is back on the menu!"
