Hello Everyone,

What a valuable site this is [img]http://uumor.pair.com/nutalle2/peanutallergy/cool.gif[/img]

My wife and I have a 3.5 year old daughter (Chloe) with a severe peanut allergy. We had her tested after a Thai food reaction and she is a 5 out of 6. This was a blood test and I don't know if it was a RAST. She also has asthma which I understand a lot of PA's have.

My wife is supervigilant about supervising Chloe's food intake. I am so thankfull for that.

We both have some anxieties about this but my wife has much more. I want to ask some questions about how this affects your lives in certain ways but I think that should be posted on the main discussion board.

I also think it is important to support a network like this. My wife will be calling today to join.

I will always try to sign my name so that you know if it's me or my wife posting. If the spelling is good, it's her...

Best Regards,

Matt

Thanks Sarah. We have been reading here for some time know and have learned so much.

I do have some detailed questions though. I will post them to the general discussion board and maybe the travel board.

I appreciate your support.
