Kallen had her official Wheat Challenge down at Children's Hospital. It's a painfully tedious process that involves feeding her one minuscule crumb of a cracker, then ten minutes later two crumbs and so forth until she has eaten two whole saltines! We hung out at the hospital for 5 hours straight. I thought I might lose my mind. However, the payoff was indeed worth it as Kallen is now free to eat wheat. We have happily added several cereals, pasta, and crackers to her diet but are still far from overcoming the egg, milk and nut allergies. After this challenge, it's going to be a while before they will be able to convince me to attend another challenge. I do know it will be at least a few months away as they won't be testing her again until late summer. Congratulations, Kallen! Enjoy those graham crackers at last!
