Testing his breathing before starting the challenge.
Skin test results. Overall, negatives. The only slightly responsive dose was his current 2000mg dose. Weird, huh?
Getting ready for the IV. UGH. Took FOUR nurses to hold him down for this.
IV in and Food Challenge in progress. Austin's very hungry and tired. He's not allowed to eat until an hour after his last dose- so he gets nothing but 2 cups of ice cream until 3pm that day.
Much of the day is sitting and waiting. Here he's just tired and bored and sick of being poked at.
This is is final dose of the day... and this was the last of the 5000mg of active peanut. We're expecting SOMETHING from the kid, but it all amounts to nothing. YAY!
Austin's so happy here. He's uncomfortable with the IV and the board to keep his arm straight. Here he's finally getting it off.
Austin's showing you his IV site.
