There are over 50 OIT family blogs published in our “Research & Learn“ library. They contain the journey of that family in OIT–some are in clinical trials, and others are in private practice with board-certified allergists. All the blogs are fascinating to read, full of wisdom and knowledge unique to that family’s journey.
ONE EXCERPT FROM THE BLOG:
…Saturday is Day 1.
…Saturday is THE day!!
Day ONE!
…the beginning of the next chapter…
The 1st day of the rest of Ethan’s life.
…I still cannot believe this treatment is “a thing”.
Why is it not more widely available?
How can we NOT go for this, for him… for us…
How can we not give this to him, knowing it’s out there?
Friday is Ethan’s 6th Birthday!
Saturday is Day 1.
Day one of sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT).
SLIT for Peanuts.
Peanuts.
His poison.
Saturday he begins…
