Day 2 (November 18, 2015)

Today was day 2. I walked in confident with my music already blasting through my headphones. 

When I got back to my room, I got my blood pressure checked followed by today's dose. Today I ate 6 mg in apple sauce (I didn't want to be able to see any chunks of peanuts. Apple sauce already has a rougher consistency so it would be less noticeable). Then we waited the hour to ensure no reaction. 

During this time, I worked on some homework (bleh....chemistry). 

Since all was fine, they sent us home with 6 mg to take each day. They came in little pill capsules. Look how much 6 mg really is. It's hard to believe that they could start me with 1/60th of that yesterday.

After the appointment, I was ready to get home to see my dog. The ride home was long with many delicious food/drink stops including 

*a peppermint chocolate chip milkshake (Chick-fil-a)

*a buttermilk oven baked chicken breast, salad, and broccoli (Cracker Barrel)

*a peppermint hot chocolate (Starbucks)

Can you tell I like peppermint drinks?

When we finally got home, my dog was equally glad to see me

Day 1 (November 17, 2015)

Today I started my peanut oral immunotherapy. My very first dose was .1 mg of peanut flour. I chose to have them put it in chocolate pudding.

WHY DIDN'T MY MOM SAY "SIT UP STRAIGHT"?

They doubled my flour every 30 minutes. The doses were as follows... 0.1 mg, 0.2 mg, 0.4 mg, 0.8 mg, 1.5 mg, and 3.0 mg. This adds up to 6.0 mg (which is what I needed to get to)! In between doses can be a little boring but luckily Hailee Steinfield's EP just came out. I also spent time working on school work.

I was done for the day! After the appointment, My mom and I headed to the boardwalk, got some ice cream, walked on the beach, and played skeeball.

I got mint chocolate chunk from Ben and Jerry's...YUM!
