In light of what's happened in the US recently this seems a very small thing, but I wanted to share it with my friends anyway. I have a 3 year old son, Joshua, and a 6 month old daughter, Rachel. Joshua has lived his life so far with a severe milk allergy and has had to be watched everywhere so that he doesn't eat anything with milk in it. His cousins have been taught that they're not allowed to give him any food and we've had to cook two dinners almost every night for the last 2 years (he was on formula & breast milk before then). Today he went to the allergy specialist to get see whether it had eased at all and we discovered that it's completely gone. Apparently this is a somewhat common event for babies with milk allergy to grow out of it before they're 5. Rachel got tested too (because my wife also has a slight milk allergy, there was a good chance she would too) and she's clear. So we had a creamy-pasta dinner all together for the first time tonight. Just thought I'd share that. Thanks, James

I'm happy to hear that your son can live life normally now. Without milk people can miss out on many thing. I know because my g/f has the same allergy. ------------------ /-----------------\ |8-Bits to freedom | \-----------------/

What can I say, except that I totally agree with the others? It's really good to hear some good news in these days, and your news are really good. I wish Joshua, you and your family all the best for the future life.

It's hard for me to see at the same perspective most people do on this subject, as I have no alergies. Not even poison ivy, and I'm serious about this. I do, however, suffer from juvenile diabetes type 1. I suppose there has to be some balance. Otherwise, one would have no sense of mortality.I'm happy for you. It's important to always look the good side of things, even if it seems as if one doesn't exist. ------------------ My fear begins at one point, and spreads like wildfire from person to person. The more I interact, the greater the pain. Anxiety and depression are my new, dark friends. Solidarity is the answer, but solitude is my choice.
