Incredible Edible Egg

As you all (may have) heard Oliver had a terrible day today as we discovered he's allergic to eggs. We're hoping this is something he'll grow out of. After we fed him scrambled eggs for the first time he started rubbing his face and eyes, and got really crabby. He shortly broke out in hives and threw up. We gave him Benadryl and called the nurse line. They said if he drools or his lips puff up to go to the emergency room. After the Benadryl we hoped he'd get better. I had to leave for work to my new job. So Emily fed him (normal food - no eggs) and he threw that up, he started sneezing, he was drooling, dripping snot, and he started getting really lathargic. So Emily called 911 and they came out with the ambulance. They checked him out and he was breathing fine and said he'd get better on his own. Anyway, here are the pictures of Oliver once the EMT's left. He's all better now and back to his normal crazy stuff... which is obviously a relief. Take a look at the poor kiddo!

Oliver and his eggs!

Love,
O

Dear Oliver,

I'm so sorry. When you are older, we can go bite heads off of chckens. How cool is that!?!

Love,
Poppy

Just as long as you don't choke the chickens together.

Oh, Oliver, your GG doesn't like to see you like that. I'm glad you are all better and I'm glad you didn't have to have a ride in the ambulance. Your mommy took good care of you today. We are all grateful.

Poor little Oliver! I'm glad you're feeling better ... you look so miserable in those pictures.

I think you may end up feeling about those pictures the way your daddy felt (feels) about his chick pox pictures ... be sure to ask him about it!
