Yuck!
It's probably not a good thing when you've made TWO ER trips before your child's second birthday, is it? I mean, I'm still waiting on the bill from the first trip back in May! This past weekend, Harrison got into SOMETHING that he was quite allergic to and we headed to the ER. Thankfully we had lots of family here to watch Madeleine/ go with us! We still don't know what caused the breakout -- his face was swollen and covered spots and one of his eyes was swollen shut. We dosed him with benadryl before heading to the ER -- thankfully. When we got there the wait was 4-8 hours, so we ended up just coming back home, since the benadryl was helping lots! But, poor baby. He was miserable! Here's a picture of him after his second round of benadryl. His face his normal, but his eye is still swollen. I foresee a visit to a pediatric allergist in our future.....

Wow!!! Poor guy! I wonder what it was? I just took Linc to the doctor this week for his exscema. It has gotten pretty bad lately. Dr. Byrum said it could definitely be a food allergy. He suggested an allergist as well. We may be comparing visits soon!!!
