Well, it's official. Brighton is allergic to peanuts. He is also very leery of doctors offices, stethoscopes, people wearing gloves that want to touch him, turning his back on people wearing gloves and pretty much everything associated with doctors. Yesterday at the allergists office they tested him for milk, egg, wheat, soy, raspberries, tree nuts and peanuts. He only reacted to the peanuts and pretty badly at that. He had quite a welt on his back for a few hours.
There is a 20% chance that he will grow out of it, so there is always hope. We will be reading a lot of labels and asking a lot of questions at restaurants from now on.
Trick or Treat!

Good luck, Jill. At least we know that Brighton is in good hands! I'm just glad that you did find out for sure what his allergy is!
Jill,
We had almost the exact situation with our son, Christian. He did go into anaphalactic shock. Thankfully, I had an epi-pen on hand. I know exactly what you feel when you enter a room with peanuts or peanut butter of some sort. Very scary feeling! Your family is beautiful! Lots of love to you!
