PEANUT ALLERGY - November 16, 2002 
I came across this YOUTUBE video that displays how to correctly use an EPI-PEN. I have just renewed Ethan's and we've got one in his classroom and one in his backpack... I have a prescription in to get a couple more - the house, diaper bag... anyways, thought I would post this. Even if you don't have sound, which I don't right now either, it's worth the watch and could save someone's life! Just click on the website and it should come up no problem! Take the grey cap off the top and firmly press the black part into the outer thigh and hold....

Ethan has a PEANUT allergy, which I discovered when he was 14 months old. I later had it confirmed by an allergy doctor, who tested just for peanuts because he was so young. We don't know the severity of his allergy and hope to never find out! We also found out this summer that he's allergic to dog saliva - unless of course that particular dog had been into a peanut stash somewhere :) Thanks for watching!
