A possible cure for milk allergies part 2
This weeks video shows Dr. Lynda Schneider of Children's Hospital in Boston discussing how the milk allergy study works and what the hope is for this program. We still get to see our man Brett in the video and we are watching him get a skin test done to see how severe his milk allergy is.

Yesterday at school a classmate had a birthday and his mother brought in a birthday treat for the class. The entire class including the teacher and the teachers aid were able to have giant cookies shaped and decorated like baseballs. No one told me that a treat was going to be given to the class. My son was able to pick something from his safe snack box and he had potato chips. A bag of potato chips vs. a baseball cookie to a five year old is a big difference. He was very disappointed when I picked him up. He's already stressed out about school, but yesterday he kept mentioning how different he felt because of his food allergies and how sad he was because he couldn't have a cookie. I've e-mailed the teacher and requested that I please be notified in advance of birthday celebrations so that I could send in a "special" treat for my son. Yes, the safe snack box is there, but to a five year old, it's really not the same (this is my second request for this information by the way but being that it is the being of the year and the teacher is new I know it was just an oversight). So while safety is the main reason that we all want a cure for food allergies, just being able to be one of the regular kids would be an added bonus.

What do you think of the study? Would you do one or would you let your child participate?
