MONTHS IN MAINTENANCE

I'VE BEEN IN MAINTENANCE FOR TWO MONTHS!

Two months ago...

Graduation was two months ago and I had my peanuts graduation party.

As you noticed I finally was able to get my ice-cream cake! And I have been waiting for that day since day one!

Lots of people came to my party.

I also got lots of gifts even gift cards to ice-cream stores!

I have been to lots of ice-cream stores and most of them were when I was on summer vacation!

Rita's. I was actually eating all 3 of these!

Baskin Robbins- the vanilla flavor was actually right

next to the peanut butter flavors but I didn't care at all!

Ben & Jerry's

                                                              CUPS- I was able to taste and

                                                                    get whatever flavor I wanted!

 On vacation I was nervous for some of the activities and yet the ones I was nervous to do ended up being the funnest ones.

Like zip-lining. 

Jet-skiing.

Boogie-boarding.

I also went white water rafting and to Busch Gardens and a dolphin speed boat ride.

I think since the ones I was most scared to do ended up being the funnest that  means that I should be afraid of everything because it would mean as long as I try it I would like it the most. The things that you need courage for are what ends up being the funnest!
Same thing with OIT--- all the resting, all the driving, all the peanut eating (blech), the sort of scary times---- but it was all worth it because the REWARD:

FREEDOM!!!!

It seems that the scariest things you go through in life end up being the best things. You just have to find the courage and face your fear.

One of the things I went to on vacation (I just burped- maybe from dosing a little while ago- hee hee), is the Peanut shop in Williamsburg. Last time we were here I couldn't even go inside the store.

This is when I was 5

Jumping for joy at age 9 outside the store before going inside.

This time I went inside and there were all these disgusting peanuts inside. I didn't want to eat any more disgusting peanuts but I was safe- I didn't have any smell reactions or eating reactions or touch reactions or any other type of reactions (though I have no idea what other types there are). NOW I AM SAFE NO MATTER WHERE I GO. (even the smelly peanut shop) 

I was holding my nose because so many peanut bottles

were open for free samples and it was P.U. And my brothers and dad kept taking the samples!

I was disgusted!

Even though I still don't like the taste of peanuts, since I finished OIT now I am able to go to all the places I want. I've even been to Dunkin' Donuts. I didn't like Dunkin' donuts.

 I can also go to whatever restaurant I want! I love restaurants!

At a restaurant on vacation. We didn't even

ask about ingredients!

Take out from a Chinese restaurant! My first time ever!

This restaurant was delicious!

And a month ago I faced my final contestant!

THE 24 PEANUT CHALLENGE!!!

My shirt says 24 peanuts?! Challenge accepted!

Too many peanuts! 

And I crushed it!!!

FREEDOM!!!

Now I am completely free.

For the first time ever I was able to go to my cousin's engagement party. I had to skip the last three family events because of my allergy. But now I was able to go! And it was super fun and I got to run around and stuff. With my cousins. (by the way I wasn't in my 2 hours anymore so I was allowed to run around.)

My mom also made me a Peanuts kippah. (not REAL peanuts)

Also since my last big bag of peanuts was finished I got a new much better bag of peanuts. Not Snoopy. Real Peanuts! 

But by the way don't think I like them. Because I don't like them. I dose anyway each day. I destroy them with my teeth. My vampirest teeth. My zombie teeth. My giant teeth. My humongous teeth.

After my 24 peanut challenge I was allowed to taste bamba. My parents made me. I didn't want to cuz it smelled like peanut butter. And it tasted like peanut butter. And I hated it! Peanut butter was my arch nemesis. But now it tastes much better. Well it still tastes bad, but it is much better. Because I HAVE A BRAND NEW FLAVOR--- Skippy! And this bamba tastes like the old peanut butter. And I know there's peanut butter in there cuz I watched a video of how bamba is made. It's called 'bamba samba' and I saw peanut butter raining on it! 

But one of the better things I tasted was yo crunch yogurt (there were two types, but I only liked one of them. Actually I LOVED the one that I liked.) 

Also in the first week of school we did an experiment with a gummy worm and the teacher had extra gummy worms. Lots of them. And she gave one to each person. There were no labels but I was able to eat it anyway because I did OIT. I even ate another gummy worm without a label at my grandparents house. All thanks to those precious doctors at OIT.

I even miss going to see my nurses and doctors each week.

I have to wait 2 months til I get to see them again. Then 6 months.

And I miss them so much!

See ya soon.

I'll be happy to sign autographs.

Bye!
