He's still allergic to peanuts...

I hate to say, I learned that the hard way. The other morning we were eating breakfast and I gave Josh a few of my cereal flakes to eat. Big mistake. The next time I looked at him his lips were huge! Huge! I immediately scooped up all the cereal, threw it in the sink, and ran upstairs to get the benadryl. After he took the benadryl, I called his allergist. They asked if he was having trouble breathing. I said no. They asked if he was getting hives. I said no. Then they put me on hold.
As I was waiting for them to get back on the phone, Josh ran over to me, started to cry and then pointed to his tummy. I grabbed his hand to run to the toilet. But we didn't make it. He barfed all over the floor right as the lady on the phone got back to me. She said, "Well, as long as he's having no other symptoms..." I cut in right there and said, "Actually, he just threw up. Oh! There he goes again!" Phone lady says, "Okay, take him to ER. Take him right now." I said okay. But I didn't take him. I called Diego first. He's my voice of reason. He is better at seeing the big picture than I am. He told me that since Josh barfed and the swelling in his lips was going down, he will probably be okay. I told him that if Josh barfs again we would go for sure.
Well friends, he did barf again. About an hour later, in my master closet, and probably twice as much as before. All over me as well. I called Diego again. Once again, Diego advised not to go to the ER. It's true that Josh wasn't having difficulty breathing. And he was acting much happier after that second episode. That's also when Joshy's lips really started to reside back to normal size. After the whole ordeal we headed to Joe's Barbeque where Josh had a plate of jalapeno sausage links, which further confirmed that he really was feeling much better.
It was really scary but I'm also glad we didn't go to the ER. We would have spent two hundred bucks for them to check Josh out and send us home. But still - SCARY! I finally looked at the ingredients on the cereal box. Peanuts was one of the first listed. So, even though he's not allergic to milk or eggs anymore. Peanuts, yes. Definitely, yes.
