You are very knowledgeable on food allergies, so if Andrew has them, I know you will do an amazing job in protecting him. But I'm still hoping that you won't have to deal with it. I haven't had Wesley tested or have we introduced nuts to him yet. Thanks for the reminder...It may be a good idea I look into this myself. -------------------- Rae SAHM to Wil (4) and Wesley (2) ~ Wife to Richard 10/20/01
