Scaring Mommy to Death, Part 2...

Checklist for a really bad morning:
1. Wake up to screaming baby at 4 and never go back to sleep
2. While getting ready, stick finger down said baby's throat
3. Bonk baby's head on door frame while rushing to the bathroom to wash her mouth out
4. Call Poison Control (once finding the number after talking to a mean lady at the ER)
5. Lose phone that is on vibrate
6. Be late to work

So this morning, I decided that it would be fun to get in the trash and eat some of Daddy's deoderant. It tasted really bad and I tried to get it back out, but it just wouldn't get out!!!! So, I tried spitting it out, throwing it up and then Mommy got there... She swooped me up and started sticking her finger in my mouth and down my throat. Then she started washing my mouth out with water. It was so gross and I started foaming at the mouth (which the mommy now thinks looked pretty stinking funny!). So then Mommy looked at the back of the deoderant and saw that it said to call Poison Control IMMEDIATELY if I swallowed any of it, which I had. So then she ran around the whole house with me in tow trying to find the stupid phone and I started throwing up again, so we were running back to the bathroom and she bonked my head on the doorframe. Well that was just the end of the world and I completely lost it and starting crying and wailing (the mommy felt pretty darn terrible about this one, especially with the bruise on her noggan). She finally got a hold of Poison Control and they told her that she had already done everything she needed to do and that as long as I wasn't reacting to it - turning an "unnatural red" or seizing - that I was fine.

So now, I'm just hanging out with a yucky taste in my mouth drinking lots of water and about to head to Water Fun Day with Grant at his school.

Wonder if Mommy heart has restarted yet...

Scaring Mommy & Daddy to death!!

So last week was extremely adventurous for this princess!

The week before, I was not so happy, because I had a double-ear infection and it was making me sad. After a visit with Dr. Pepper (as Grant calls Dr. Klepper), I get on some medicine and am on the road to recovery. On Tuesday of last week, I'm still scratching at my ears, so I have another visit with Dr. Pepper to make sure that my ears are clearing up and he said that I looked great and my ears were as beautiful as ever! YAY!!

Then Thursday came...

Thursday morning, Mommy notices that I'm scratching at my face a lot and it's leaving terrible red marks and even some little welts...but they go away really quickly, so she thinks it's from me scratching. Then later in the morning, Mommy gets a call from my grandmom that I stay with during the day. She tells Mommy that I ate a huge bowl of grits that morning and LOVED them, but that now I have little red welts all over my body, so Mommy tells her to call and describe them to the doctor's office and see what we need to do. Well, from the way she described them, Dr. Pepper thinks it is a viral infection that she's trying to get rid of.

Mommy and Daddy had a dinner that night they had to go to and by the time they picked me up, my eyes were swollen almost shut and my body was so red that it looked like I still had clothes on even when I was naked. So they frantically drove all over town, with me in tow, trying to find an urgent care clinic that was still open so as to avoid the ER. It was quite annoying!!! They finally found one and the doctor took one look at me and told Mommy that I was having an allergic reaction to something I ate and then proceeded to chastise Mommy and Daddy for giving me table food! It made Mommy really mad!! He gave them an antihistamine perscription and sent us on our way. Well, they couldn't get it filled that late, so I got Benadryl instead.

And I slept so peacefully...Mommy and Daddy didn't...They spent all night racking their brains trying to figure out what might have caused the reaction...grits=corn...Chick-Fil-A chicken nuggets=peanut oil...that about narrows it down

Friday morning...Still not better at all, so I got to go back to see Dr. Pepper for the 3rd time in 2 weeks! It's a good thing that he's my favorite doctor... He walks in and tells Mommy that now she knows what hives look like and seeing my rash makes all the difference in what he thinks is going on. He says that he saw that we went to the urgent care clinic last night and they told us it was a food allergy...and then he made Mommy very happy by saying that it was NOT a food allergy and there was nothing she could have done to prevent it. (thank goodness, because she felt soooooooo guilty!!!) He said that she was having an allergic reaction to the Amoxicillan from the ear infection and that means no more Penicillan, just like Daddy, and gave some good medicine that really made me feel better (Allegra). Now, I have been taking the good stuff since Friday and I almost look like a normal happy baby again!!

Scared Mommy and Daddy to death!!! Wish I could say it was fun, but I was pretty miserable...not gonna lie!
