We had another appointment with Bailey's allergist today. They did another round of skin prick testing and Egg White/Egg Yolk was still extremely positive. The doctor did not feel comfortable giving her any amount of egg (even in baked goods) for at least a year. We are know the proud owners an Epi Pen Jr. to use in case she does come in contact with an egg product. I am a little sad for her, but it is rare that the allergy will continue past 5, so hopefully she will outgrown this within the next few years! For now, I am starting to become pretty good at egg-free cooking/baking. The hardest part is when we go out to eat. Oh well, after all we've been through just having one food allergy seems like a walk in the park!
