I don't know how to rotate this photo of blogger. This is little cody in the ER. He was such a trooper during the whole process. I love my little man and I would never do anything to hurt him.
So Grandma came to visit yesterday and stayed the night at our house. Mommy took us to the home and garden show at the Dulles expo center. Mommy is looking for painters and decided this might be a good place to get estimates. So mommy and grandma walked around while I rode in my stroller. I got to look at so many people. Afterwards mommy drove to a cater our in Sterling. She's thinking of ordering my birthday cake from them. Mommy is going to take me to the allergist in 2 weeks to do a "cake" test. The doctor is going to feed me my birthday cake and if I can eat it with no reaction then mommy gets to buy me a normal cake. But if I have a bad reaction like hives or something then mommy has to get a wheat free, egg free cake. All I hear is cake and that sounds yummy to me. Anyway, mommy then took me and grandma to Applebee's for lunch. That's where the problems began and my fun day turned to a trip to the emergency room.
Mommy and grandma were eating lunch. Mommy was feeding me my baby food and I had enough. I didn't want it. I wasn't in the mood. I wanted what mommy had and I grabbed at her plate several times. So mommy handed me a french fry. She thought it would be fun to see me hold the french fry in my hand since I don't like to hold food in my hands ever. In fact, I don't even like to feed myself, mommy does it for me. So she handed me a french fry and I threw it on the ground, she handed me another and on the floor, there it went, then she handed me another, and oops, I did it again. hee-hee. So I grabbed at mommy's plate again and she took a really small piece of her fish sandwhich and put it in my mouth. It was fantastic!! I had 3 other little pieces. We're talking the size of the tip of mommy's fingernail. Anyway, by the time the check got to us I was itching away. Mommy was so surprised. Then I started getting little white bumps all over my hands and arms and a little on my face. Mommy started to worry. Then my left eye started to swell close and mommy drove me straight to the emergency room.
Mommy didn't know what happened. At the emergency room, they took me right in. They gave me 2 types of medication and watched me for 2 hours. Mommy was so relieved that I got better but she was racking her brain on what I had that made me break out and swell up. Once we got home, mommy called Applebee's to find out what the fries were cooked in because at the hospital she thought maybe the fries were cooked in Peanut oil and I'm allergic to peanuts.
Applebee's said they cook their fries in soybean oil. Well, I'm allergic to soybean too. Does this mean I'll never have a french fry? Well, mommy took a whole bunch of notes and she monitored me all night to make sure nothing new would happen to me. Mommy was so scared today and will make an appointment with the allergist to discuss my allergies and what else could cause me to goto the hospital. We don't want this to ever happen again.
