I'm glad it's not worse. Hope he deals with it okay emotionally.  Hospitals can be a scary place.

Ugh.  This has been a horrible, very bad, no good kinda week around here.  YOWZA.

I'm thinking of giving DS a benedryl sippy cup....like Hitch in the movie.

He HATES benedryl.  And I now have him on the liquid every four hours.  This has him cranky.  I was pulling apart his room (to despidify in case that's the problem). But he got mad and kicked me out.  Now he's doing it himself.

Fine with me.  I'm washing all the laundry.

I think something was in his bed. I cannot wash the quilts, so he'll have to take an extra (which will again make him angry.

SL, could you use a medication syringe?  I use one to get the nasty pred mostly past my tongue when taking it.

I tried that before. But his gag reflex kicks in even more with that, than with the taste.

You would think he could swallow pills by now...but apparently not.

Yup.

Have 2 kids doing lots of "wing spreading" here in my home . . . and it has me very worried that we've got a reax around the corner.

{{HUGS}} to TT and family.  Glad it was not worse!!

Is this where I blame iPhone and cuss like an old fighter pilot's wife?

**(&%@@&%$^%$#^%$#$*&      LOL!!

Thanks, all. 

We went with extra heavy Zyrtec tonight and cortisone for the eczema patch flare-ups.  Mystery reactions being the lovely surprises they are we may never know but I sort of suspect underlying full cup.  It is a real humdinger of a week for all of us, innit?

The Center for Science in the Public Interest is asking the Food and Drug Administration to require that sesame be disclosed on food labels in the same manner as milk, eggs, fish, shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, and soy are disclosed.
