Finally

We went and had Brady's food allergies tested again. It's been a year, so he had the usual suspects, plus a few more done. Surprisingly his reaction to peanuts went way down. Not that he can eat them still but, better is better. The bad news is that he is highly allergic to pistachios. Probably my favorite nut, but it won't be in the house anymore. Walnuts didn't register a reaction this time. However, pecans, almonds, and hazelnuts die. Nice. Plus on the he is allergic to chicken, duck and goose feathers. So, no down blankets or pillows for that guy.

The big one though, the one he has been waiting months to get tested for...he passed. He is not, I repeat NOT allergic to shellfish. You should have seen his face when he heard that. Of course I didn't bring the camera. He was through the roof happy. We told him for weeks that if and when he passed the test that we would take him out to eat as many shrimp as he wanted. That's just what we did. We went directly to Red Lobster and the kid pounded down all of his popcorn shrimp and two of my jumbo shrimp. I'm pretty sure if there had been more he would have gobbled those up to. He was just all smiles the whole time.

I am so happy for the little dude. For someone who loves to try any new food, and is denied a whole food group...its pretty awesome a new world of flavor has opened up for him. So for all the grandfolks out there looking to splurge...he is all amped up to try crab next time.
