Thanks for checking in everyone!!  I never in my wildest dreams ever thought this day would come.  My ds was pretty nervous.  in the car, he lamented that he forgot to tell me to bring shorts in case he needed the epi pen because he didn't want to ruin his favorite jeans!  then he told me he felt like he would if someone told him that bullets wouldn't kill him anymore and told him to pull the trigger of a loaded gun.  yikes!
dr talked to him first about hte test and what the results mean.  told him to relax and not fail because he's nervous.  took vitals, did checked oxygen level, blew in the peak flow meter etc.
He didn't give him any time to think about that first dose, basically said stick out your tongue and swiped the pb on it with tongue depressor. 
he increased dose every 10 min working up to two tablespoons of pb. 
The only thing I noticed is he seemed a tiny bit wheezy at one point, but dr checked vitals again and there was not a change!
He rode home with my dh.  I stopped and bought him a bunch of candy that he's never had/can't have.  I think my ds is in shock.  He's pretty even mood wise, even when he's really happy about something.  I also wonder if he identifies so much with having the allergy that he is feeling odd to be without it?  does that make sense?
All I know is I am one happy mommy.
Thank you for your support gals!!!

So happy that he passed!   

Enjoy trying new foods, and enjoy not having to worry about PNs!

If you want to talk about what it's like as a parent, I'm happy to commiserate.  I had a hard time no longer viewing peanuts as poison.  It took a long time, and I shed a lot of tears about his eating peanuts now.

Omigoodness, omigoodness, omigoodness!!!

This is such amazing news - and I'm so happy he has something positive to hang his hat on during what's been a difficult year, KWIM?

Hooray for Mfamom's son!!!

I just sat through two really awful plays by thinking about your DS. I was imagining his going to get ice cream.

I can't wait to tell my DS later tonight. Wow.

[Mfamom]

that's so sweet, Macabre. 
Think of all the "firsts" at nearly 16 years old! 
He is such a funny kid.  He came home, ate dinner, did homework and is playing xbox right now.  Has hockey later. 
No hooting and hollering.  nothing.  He isn't a hooter or a hollerer so I shouldn't b surprised.  LOl
wonder how long it takes to undo my habits like reading every label, calling places, saying do you have your epi pen?  seems surreal
