Yesterday Blythe and I had our first treatments with a homeopathic remedy called the BAX3000 by BioAllergenix, in an attempt to cure her of her food allergies.
Our appointment went well, although Blythe did cry. Afterward, she rewarded (read: punished) the doctor for putting her through sitting still for two whole minutes by terrorizing the decorations in his office. And yes, that included the goldfish.
This particular treatment was for egg, a known allergen for Blythe. The doctor recommended that we feed Blythe an egg for lunch today, and although I was freaking terrified, I did.
I kept the EpiPen handy because, hello! Terrified! But excited as well.
So, without further ado, I give you: Blythe’s first egg!
Me: Blythe! Mama made you an egg!
Blythe: Oooh! Baby chicks!
Me: No, no, not baby chicks. An egg to eat.
*
Blythe: (sniiiffffff) Egg?
Me: Want a bite?
Blythe: Baby chicks?
*
Me: Not chicks, eggs! It’s good! Yummy eggs!
*
Me: Come on, open up! Don’t you know you’ve been deprived?
Blythe: I do it! 
*
Blythe: Here, Mama eat it.
*
Me: Ok, I’ll have a bite. Mmm! Yummy eggs! Now Blythe eat it!
*
Blythe: Mmmmmm!
Me: Now, any tingling? Swelling? How’s your tongue? Let me examine you for a rash. Let me listen to your breathing. Sit here on the couch so I can stare at you. Want to watch a movie?
Blythe: Movie!
*
Verdict: It’s been several hours, and she has not had a reaction as far as I can tell. I’ll keep watching her for symptoms, but WOW!
I mean, WOW! My kid just ate EGGS!
*She’s nekkid because I wanted to be able to spot a rash immediately, not because we’re refusing to run the air conditioner in an attempt to save money. Mostly.

That is fantastic, and fascinating! I hope it keeps going this well.
I think in honor of her first egg you should snip that mullet down to size!!!
How exciting! Are you freaking out? (In a good way?) I guess the epipen says it all. But still-WooHoo!
Wow. I can’t wait to read more about your treatments. Facinating!!!
Baby chicks? Chicks come from eggs?
Hope it stays down well.
YAY!!!! I can hardly contain my excitement.
I can’t WAIT to hear about the rest of it. And to come to Sac and make appts. with your Dr for my boys. And hang with you guys.
xoxo
Wow this is huge! I hope you have continued success.
Great! I hope things continue in the same way! This could revolutionize your life.
Wow! That is amazing! I cant wait to see how further treatments work out!
Congratulations!!! That is just fantastic!!! I love that she kept thinking eggs meant baby chicks, that is just too cute.
(and…if my kids knew that I knew someone with baby chicks, I’d be in big trouble – if we visited you, we could take a dozen of them off your hands for sure – hahaha!)
OMG! How fantastic!
I’ve been researching this treatment for my son. He’s allergic to pretty much everything except food. Thankfully we’ve only had to do the ER/epinephrine thing twice. I was wondering if and how your treatments have helped. Have you noticed any changes?
