I made sure to call & check the notes were on the booking & while checking in I made sure that they were aware as well. Luckily I always pack snacks for him & stopped at Mc Donalds for a hamburger prior to boarding the flight. Only to find there was - No MEAL for him! I was outraged. Tweeted to Virgin, Richard Branson, wrote a formal complaint letter - not even a note from them to say they were sorry! I have always been a Virgin traveller, but never again!!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18197064479350790609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-192565923570468744.post-41445762140133438142013-03-12T16:30:01.994-04:002013-03-12T16:30:01.994-04:00Hi Joyce,
Thanks so much for sharing your son'...Hi Joyce,<br /><br />Thanks so much for sharing your son's experience. <br /><br />I've been watching the news about milk desensitization and I have some concerns about something I read recently. Dr. Robert Woods said, that "only eight of 32 children who received treatment three to five years earlier at Johns Hopkins were still free of symptoms when ingesting milk. Five can’t touch it, and the rest have occasional to frequent reactions to milk". <br /><br />This was disheartening and doesn't offer great long-term statistics right now. I'm guessing you and your son have stayed in touch with his allergist in terms of how to proceed from here? The allergist may recommend no ingestion for now.<br /><br />Best to you and your son. Please keep us posted when you think about it. This is all new treatment options and we're all learning from one another.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04591880646831697311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-192565923570468744.post-27835715792482728082013-03-12T00:44:34.208-04:002013-03-12T00:44:34.208-04:00This is Kyle's mom again.

He is away at college and decided to stop, since he didn't like the way it made him feel (always a bit of an itchy throat, sometimes upset stomach). So, he is avoiding milk again completely. I suggested that he drink just one ounce per day (a shot), but he isn't doing that. I guess at some point he will be a good test to see if the desensitization lasts if you don't continue to drink milk. Prior to this, he was extremely allergic to even the slightest trace of any dairy with an anaphylactic reaction.Joycehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01684387041388505366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-192565923570468744.post-89439438411680890372013-03-04T16:24:54.534-05:002013-03-04T16:24:54.534-05:00Thank you for posting this!

And the biggest struggle is getting them to GAIN WEIGHT! They are both string beans, eat a lot....but still, they are trailing behind their peers. My older son is really tall, though. <br /><br />For me, I try to "Sneak" stuff in but that's really not my "style". I just offer foods (some are different than the normal American cuisine) but it works. Seeing a nutritionist is phenomenal. They can tell you about foods that are high in protein (like Quinoa, kale, etc) that you can give your kids. We also make use of vitamins so that's one less thing I have to think about- ensuring that they have their vitamins :). Our biggest hurdles are fat and protein. Avacados are great dippers and have tons of healthy fats. Also, putting olive oil in their dishes is another "sneaky" way to add fat! Point being, see a nutritionist. I would never have known about those "secrets" :).corrinacshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06072641540043901433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-192565923570468744.post-25259941379778593762013-03-04T15:42:58.326-05:002013-03-04T15:42:58.326-05:00i dont think you have to use soy milk rice milk wo...i dont think you have to use soy milk rice milk would work tooAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-192565923570468744.post-58020257439290188732013-02-26T15:04:36.345-05:002013-02-26T15:04:36.345-05:00I wish I could have attended the AAAAI meeting!

But we still have the Epi-pens at school. I live in LA which no longer has school nurses for each school. The teachers were trained on Epi-pens and all the school district paperwork references the Epi-Pen. When I requested an extra trainer for the Auvi-Q for my son's school, the Auvi-Q customer service refused. They said they would only give them to medical offices. They refuse to sell or give me one. You were given extra trainers but not me. So I have nothing to train the teachers or the district. If I give them the one trainer I have, I will never get it back. The schools already have Epi-pen trainers. This seems very short sighted on Sanfi's part. Also I am concerned that EMT's will not recognize the Auvi-Q as an epinephrine injector. I have my son carrying it when he is out with his friends. I have trained his friends in the new injector. I see an up hill battle with getting it into my son's school. These are things I didn't think about when I got the new injector. My son is in the second largest school district in the country. Unless Auvi-Q addresses school training, etc. we will be using Epi-pens in the future irregardless of liking the new injector.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08439731177317217436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-192565923570468744.post-34193750388485016002013-02-09T10:30:32.432-05:002013-02-09T10:30:32.432-05:00We now have both.We now have both.Lisa Rutternoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-192565923570468744.post-23446069846468299352013-02-09T10:16:07.956-05:002013-02-09T10:16:07.956-05:00What a fantastic post!
