So sorry Roz - how has Joe taken it?
Will they test him again in a year or so? One of my son's friends
(now 15) appears to have grown out of a nut allergy that produced
anaphalactic shocks when he was 3.
So frustrating to have a taste of freedom for it to go again.
Thanks for letting us know.
Maggie
