Allergy Testing

Last week we took Evan to get allergy tested.  We knew he was most likely allergic to peanuts based on his reaction to a butterfinger at Easter, but wanted to make sure that was it.  Unlike Emily, his only food allergy is peanuts!  The dr. actually said it's uncommon to see siblings that share a food allergy, which is opposite of what I think it would be.  Since we knew Em was already allergic to peanuts, this news doesn't really change much in our house.  Shawn and I eat peanuts and peanut butter, but we never cook family meals or treats using either of them.  We obviously still have to be more careful with all of Em's allergies, but I'm glad to know now what all of Evan's allergies are.
