Allergic Reaction

Yesterday started wonderful. I was back on my old routine that made me feel like I was getting stuff accomplished. I was feeling refreshed after a really hard weekend. All the kids had seemed to wake up in great moods. This was how I wished every Monday morning would go!

I had fed the kids cinnamon pop tarts for breakfast. No big deal right? Well I was so wrong. Poor Butterfly girl had an allergic reaction to it. The doctor at the Prime care is guessing since we have given pop tarts before, of a different flavor, that it was probably the cinnamon that caused the reaction.

My poor baby was red from head to toe. She had hives on her ears, on her toes, on her belly. They were every wear. She didn't seem to try to itch them, but boy did she ever scream. She was miserable. She wanted nothing, but to be held. She just cried and cried. I am guessing that if I was in her shoes that is all I would want to do also.

The Prime Care doctor gave her some Benadryl and a steroid to help open her lungs. He also noticed that she had an ear infection. Poor baby, sore ear and an allergic reaction. So we started an antibiotic. Once we got home she slept for 3 hours. She was so tired from how hard her body had worked and from the Benadryl.

Today is a new day! Hopefully we can stay away from all things cinnamon and have an uneventful day as far as surprises go. We do have a busy day planned! Fabric shopping, groceries, school work, and mommy has to go to work for a few hours this afternoon.

Be Blessed,
