The trip to Arkansas was great, but every trip has its ups and downs. The Arkansas Childrens Hospital was very nice. One of the nurses, Mrs. Karen, met us by the gift shop and led us upstairs. We walked into the research room which is where they do the study and were led to a bed. All the doctors were nice and talked to us about the peanut study. I thought it was really cool that they were going to freeze my blood somewhere.
One of the first things they did to me was the skin test which makes your back sooo itchy!! Then they took some blood and put it in tubes to be sent off to be frozen! But first the blood had to be spun to separate the plasma from the cells and they showed me how! It was so cool! For the rest of the day I was given doses of peanut flour and played games and watched TV. The next day they doubled my dose, but I just got one dose.
While we were in Little Rock we learned a lot and found some hotels and places to eat. Best of all we found a Justice store!
I CAN’T WAIT TO GO BACK!
