RE: Milk

Just a quickie to let you know that Zane's still sick from the peanut affair. On a good note, his milk exposure is much better. We haven't had too many milk reactions since my last post on the subject.

For inquiring minds (Laurie): When N has milk or milk-containing foods, he drops crumbs, or gets it on his hands or his mouth (or hair, for that matter), and then plays with the toys or chews or touches something, then Zane gets it and plays with it and the allergen finds its way into his system. I have to wash N down with a wipe after any milky-meal.

Some kids (I'm told) are so allergic to peanuts that they can't be in the same room with a peanut, without having an anaphylactic reaction. Now that is terrifying.
