Still Allergic:(

We had to take Cohen to the dr. the other day to test for peanuts again.  We needed an epi-pen for his school and ours had expired.  When he had his first test, it was blood work that was taken and he tested positive for so many things that he was not allergic too.  So, this time I asked for a scratch test so we could see how allergic he was.  With a scratch test they did 3 pokes 1: positive and 1: negative 1: Peanut so you can compare the peanut reaction with the other two reactions.  After 1 minute, there was no reaction and in my brain I was rejoicing that he was starting to grow out of it.  But the nurse said we needed to wait a few more minutes.  After about 5 minutes this is what it looked like...

Now, it is clearly a positive reaction about 3 times the size of the positive scratch.  So the nurse went to go get the Dr. to show him the results.  By the time he got there (about 3 minutes later) it continued growing and spreading.  All over Cohen's back were welts from the peanut scratch.  The Dr. called them satellite reactions.  And told me that that is a VERY SEVERE reaction and that not under any circumstances should he be anywhere near peanuts. :(  We are still hoping that it is an allergy that he will grow out of, but until then... NO PEANUTS!!!!!!!
