Add more to the list...

So now we can add more to the list of what Lila's allergic to. Yesterday she came home and had some ice cream after school. Then, she had some Reese's candy. I'm not sure how many pieces of candy she had - but according to Brooke, several. After dinner, she was supposed to practice her piano. She had a headache, so she laid down for a couple of hours. When she woke up she had red itchy eyes, her mouth itched and her nose ran for ever! We weren't too worried because she didn't have any problems breathing.

After giving her Zyrtec, Pepcid and then even some Benedryl she didn't seem to get much better. She went through almost an entire box of Kleenex. Still....not the huge face swelling she gets from the strawberries and not the immediate reaction. Then, the wheezing started and the tightness around her chest. So she ended up having to use her Epi-pen anyway. The good thing is that her symptoms cleared up immediately. The other good thing, we had 2 since she was away so much for the summer.

The bad news, she might be allergic to peanuts as well as strawberries. Luckily, her appointment with the allergist is coming up. Hopefully she will develop all her allergies prior to her appointment! She was able to go to sleep after all that medication. Blake got home shortly after all of the excitement and she was able to use his inhaler too. That helped clear up her breathing as well.
