Tomorrow my youngest is attempting another food challenge. As awesome as this is, it is the scariest thing I have ever had to encounter. You long for the day to hear the words that your child may have outgrown at least one of his many life threatening allergies. Yet my heart is racing, my chest is tightening and I am doing everything I can to push the tears out of my mind. Each time I remind him to be brave, I think I am trying to remind myself of the same thing. We have been planning for this for months and now the day is here. I couldn't be more proud of him for taking this risk, I am not sure I could. My boy is one of the bravest people I know; I like to think I had some part of that but really the credit is all his. His spirit reminds me to just be brave.
