We went out to dinner with my parents last night to California Pizza Kitchen. Twenty minutes later, it was obvious Nicholas was having a severe allergic reaction to something he ate. His entire, 26 pound body was the color of a tomato and covered in hives. On top of that, he was listless, which really put me over the edge on the “Scared Shitless” scale of fear and confusion. At the Urgent Care they gave him a shot of steroids and benadryl. We watched him through the night, and today he is pale, has dark circles under his eyes, and is acting like absolutely nothing terrifying happened last night. Fit as a fiddle, he is.
I took him to the pediatrician today. I disagree with his approach (there is no approach) so I am getting a second opinion.
I’m feeling a bit overwhelmed and disconnected from my family. That is no good, so I am taking a little break. The Mister will hopefully be working soon, and it’s important to me that we spend as much time together while we can. Plus, this week is Mikey’s spring break! Hopefully we will do something fun and exciting, and not just visit pediatric allergist offices
Have a great spring while I am gone. Hopefully when I return I will be 50 pounds thinner. :)
p.s. Allergies SUCK ASS.
You kill me, “Hopefully when I return I will be 50 pounds thinner.” :) So sorry about Nico, that’s scary! I would have passed right out if I saw my baby turning the color of a tomato, then we both would be in Urgent care. Okie dokie well, I personally don’t suggest a break because you make your #1 fan laugh her head off but I guess if you have to…I will be here wandering around aimlessly laugh-less until your return…

That is scary- good idea to get another opinion!
I am with you on the break- when I started blogging- I just started to accumulate blogs to follow exponentially. It has gotten out of control. I need to reign it in! Enjoy your break – but know- you will be missed.

Glad you are pushing to find answers on the allergic reaction. Allergies can be so scary!
I hope you are back soon but I totally understand the need for a break. Take it easy!
NO!!! Don’t go!
Ok…you can.
But I will miss you.
Come back soon and don’t get skinnier than me.

Jules, you are smart to trust your gut to get a second opinion. Never hurts and you won’t play the “what if” game with yourself later. Hope all turns out well.
Enjoy your break – and your family!!

I wonder if a homeopathic opinion would be good to hear as well? I sure hope your little guy never has this happen again, how scary and dangerous.
Take good care of yourself and your family.
