Allergy Update

I thought we were through the worst of it when I posted those pictures of Tyson earlier... However, shortly thereafter, G was off to the ER with him. His joints were black and purple and his face was so swollen (Have you seen Hitch??). Thankfully he took an advised pit-stop at our doctor's office, which probably saved us a few $100. Dr. Clayton (the BEST pediatrician we've every had--okay-- there have only been 2, but he is the best) said that it was the worst case of hives he had ever seen--he's been in practice for 40-50 years. We got some more meds and a steroid to help fight it off... but not before I snapped a few more pics :)








He is doing fine, I guess. He is so doped up on Benadryl and other drowsy-causing medicines that he is a walking zombie, but the hives seem to be under control. We just wish we knew what they were from.

Ohhh! Poor kid! He looks so tough though! I had Mason in the ER twice last week too - those boys could be best friends if we were just closer!

Wow, scary. Hailey breaks out into hives when she comes in contact with peanuts. You should take him to an allergist...bring those pics and ask for him to be tested. They'll do a basic test on him (scratch OR blood test) to see what he is allergic to. You'll want to know so this doesn't happen again. When Hailey was 2 I was feeding her PBJ's like 3 times a week and couldn't figure out where the vomiting was coming from...HELLO...she's allergic to peanuts you idiot! :P
