My 3 year old gave my wife and I a big scare the other day when she developed this major rash all over her body. It turned out that she was having a pretty major allergic reaction. She didn't seem to mind but I am not used to seeing pancake sized welts all over her body and legs, quarter sized welts on her face and her eyes, fingers and lips bulge up to not natural proportions.
The doctor was great and had her back to normal within hours but now we get to travel with an epi pen everywhere we go kinda worry some that it got to that point another thing we absolutely cannot be with out. plus the fear that play school, day care, grand parents may go some where with her and not remember to bring it with them. Hopefully there will never be a need but relying on others is not my strong suit.
Okay rant over and question time.
Are any of you all in the same situation? Also, when going to a restaurant how do you ensure that they are protected from the trigger food? I ask because we really don't know what the trigger was yet, but most likely either shrimp or peanuts. we have agreed upon dinner dates with others for both tonight and tomorrow at Red Lobster, and a Chinese restaurant which my fear is they will cook her food in a contaminated dish that just cooked shrimp or used gloves that just touched shrimp or that they will use peanut oil in there cooking and not inform us/ understand us. or maybe I am just being an over protective crazy person
