Dr. Burks runs the Duke portion of the peanut study Austin is in. This is a broadcast from ABC News last week. As you all probably know, Austin and I will be heading back to LR, AR on Monday for more blood work, skin tests, and to switch his dose over to REAL peanuts. The new dose will be 13 peanut m&m's (or some equivalent of his choosing).
I have a very cautious hope that his RAST (blood) scores will come back saying he's no longer allergic. No matter what the numbers say, if he can safely consume 13 peanut m&m's... it's a whole different life he'll have.
I don't mean to get all sappy and mushy, but we've really seen a miracle here.
