Speechless!
I'm in major shock at the moment. I just got off the phone with Kayla's allergist. Her dairy allergy blood test results are in. NEGATIVE!!!!!!!!!!!! I am in complete shock right now. I could not let my mind dream that she may actually outgrow it.
Granted - we have a long way to go. Saturday, she will have her skin test and then if that goes well, she'll have her food challenge that day too. Even if that goes well, it will be a slow introduction of dairy into her diet. So that we don't overload her system, PLUS in the past month she's really learned that certain foods can make her sick. So we now would have to overcome her knowing she's eating something that used to make her sick.
I'm still trying to stay realistic in that we may not be out of the woods yet. But things are looking really positive! Please send tons of good thoughts and prayers her way!

Fingers crossed and prayers going up that all goes well with the skin test!!!
oh wow that is exciting news to think she may have outgrown her allergy! Will keep my fingers crossed and prayers said that the skin test is also negative and the food challenge goes well too!
That is very exciting news! I hope that the skin test and the food challege go just as well! =)
Oh my gosh, that's great!! Good luck!
That's fantastic news! I was just about to ask you, if there is a possibility your girls could grow out of their allergies. How relieved you must feel!
Praying all goes as well with the other tests!!

This is great news! Looks like there will be a new member of the Polar "Club" soon. Good luck to Kayla on Saturday.

NO WAY! SERIOUSLY? What a shock! Man...this is AWESOME! HOLY MOLY! I just can't get over it! WOW! What great news! So glad that she's at a younger age so she can re-learn to eat!
I am looking forward to seeing what Saturday brings!
That is such great news. I think I've mentioned that our oldest son has food allergies, too, and he's outgrown most now, at age 8. Things will definitely get better as time goes on, I think.
