 She said: "I couldn't believe what was happening. This was the first time she's had a severe reaction. "It was like being trapped in a nightmare. She could have died over something so simple. But it just wasn't her day to die." With Eleanor's milestone birthday coming as the country remained under Covid lockdown restrictions in March, her family decided to plan a celebration at home. "It was her 18th birthday and it was full lockdown so we tried to make it as special as we could. We had balloons and Champagne and we all got dressed up," said Bridie. It was the first time the family had used Khan's Restaurant as their usual takeaway was closed. Bridie said they placed their order via an app and specifically asked for no peanuts. But not long after her first bite Eleanor, whose peanut allergy was diagnosed when she was six, realised something was not right. Eleanor's){kind=link}
