Elaine,

We got an epi pen also. It scares me for Kendra to have this allergy. How

old was Elise when you discovered the peanut allergy? She must do a pretty

good job of identifying food with peanuts and lentils, but that is really a

lot of responsibility for kids to have to take. I imagine she has to be

cautious at birthday parties and so on. Do kids every outgrow these kinds

of allergies?

Mom to Kendra, and Camille
