Major Freak Out!!!!!

So, this morning I had a major freak out that I thought I would share with all of you. Joshy and I were having breakfast. He had wanted an egg this morning. I have been trying to get him to want one at least once a week to get him more used to them since he had "outgrown his allergy". He had, much to my suprise, eaten his WHOLE egg and wanted another one. I happily made him a second one. He was half way through the second one when I notice him stratching. He had only a diaper on since he had wet his clothes sometime during the night. I pull out his chair and red blotches were all over his entire stomach!!!



I was starting to get worried. I took him out of his seat and his whole back was covered in red bloches too!



His mouth was also blochy.



I took the pictures so if the allergist asked me "what exactly did it look like" I could show him. Gave him a bath and got some benadryl in him. Then, it was time to call the allergist. The nurse was very suprised but said, "Don't let him eat any more eggs" (I had already figured that one out!) and that they would call later to let us know what else to do. Thankfully, his bloches went away after about a half an hour......but Mommy can't take this happening very often!!!! He is now sound asleep.....he feel asleep in less than five minutes and I have a feeling the benadryl has some to do with that.

WONDERFUL NEWS!!!!!


We got WONDERFUL news today!!! My son has outgrown his peanut allergy!!! My son is allergic to a lot of stuff for being only 2 years old....the list was eggs, peanuts, milk, walnut, and pecans. He has now tested out of both eggs and peanuts! YEAH!!! Personally, I can live with him being allergic to walnuts and pecans since those are tree nuts and easier to avoid then other stuff! I am hoping that he outgrows the milk allergy! The picture above is Joshy eating a piece of peanut butter toast! For dinner we celebrated by having grilled peanut butter, one of my all time favorites! On Friday, our good friends are throwing us a peanut butter and jelly party!


Funny line from Joshy this morning: He was extremely grumpy this morning because we had to wake him up to go to the allergist. He wouldn't smile at anyone. So finally I asked him if he was going to smile at anyone today? He responded, "smile at Evie". Evie is my one-year-old god daughter!
