Out grown Asthma and some food

Long forgotten blog - visiting after quite some time when I realized it existed, to give some quick update.

Great News!
My son no longer has asthma, according to his new doctor in the new city.  It's probably been about 2 years since he's last seen his previous doctor in CO.  After moving to GA, we quickly found an allergist just to establish the basic care, and that's what the doctor told us after checking his lungs.
Horray!!

Another Great News!
My son, at the age of 10, has somehow found he can eat yogurt and cheese, with no problems.  Around age 7 or so, there was an accident where I only later found that he seemed to have eaten parmesan cheese - with no problems.  Never wanted to confirm it on my own, so it was neglected, BUT, my son being sort of curious, and feeling a bit confident, decided to make sure where the epi-pen was (perhaps that was me), and went ahead and licked, tasted, and went on to eat.
He says it's not his favorite, but he could have it without problems.  He's always wondered what and how these two dairy tasted like, as his friends love cheese pizza (of course).

He's not trying straight milk - and I think that's smart.
It was a long time ago, when he was not even 1yo, that he had a couple of anaphylactic reactions to mildly boiled milk.  It was on the top of our "to avoid list" - but now, "we" can drop the guard!

So thankful, very grateful.

So, those parents out there wondering what's going to happen to your kids, there's plenty of hope!

Sending love to those who read this, especially the struggling parents.
