We recently discovered my lil’ guy has food allergies. Hunter can not eat milk, eggs, wheat or nuts. A few months ago I was babysitting my two nephews. I was feeding the kids french toast and scrambled eggs. Hunter is such a little begger when it comes to food and he was eyeing the scrambled eggs. I didn’t even think about allergies, Lexi ate eggs very early and never had any problems. Well, about two minutes after Hunter ate the eggs his face swelled up like a balloon. He has reacted to food and other things before so I gave him some Benadryl, but his face just kept swelling. I ran and picked him up and he started throwing up everywhere. I didn’t know if his air way was getting blocked off, but I didn’t wait around to see that happen. I told the other three kids I was taking care of that we had to get into the car and take Hunter to the hospital. We made it to the hospital, I walked in carrying Hunter with three other little ones trailing close behind me. They got us right in to see a doctor. His air way was fine and his oxygen levels were good. When we left the hospital the tears finally started running down my face. My six year old nephew said “Why are you sad, Hunter is okay?”. Hunter was okay, but every parent loses it sometimes right? Anyway, I called my pediatrician and he had me bring Hunter right in. He checked him out and said that he was fine, but that we should have some blood work done to find out exactly what Hunter is allergic to. This is how we found out what we need to stay away from. My pediatrician said that the trick is to keep him away from these foods and then the chances of him growing out of the allergy are better. Now the trick will be to keep a one year old away from all that yummy stuff! Wish me luck!
