DS attended a school event at a state university this weekend. Both DD and DS have attended this event for years now, and the dietary director has always been great to work with. No problems until this year.
The food prep staff saw "food allergy" on DS's note for his meal, and assumed he needed the gluten-free tortilla. The GF tortilla had egg in it.
Ten minutes after he ate, it was obvious he was having a reaction. TG his teachers were right there with him. I'm so proud of DS -- he gave himself the epi for the first time. (weird thing to be proud of, isn't it) Teacher called 911 and then went with him to the hospital.
He had a lot of vomiting, both before and after the epi, and his teacher told me more than once that DS was very disoriented. The vomiting is a typical reaction for my kids, but not the disorientation. That symptom was scary.
DH and I drove up in a hurry, although it was a 2.5 hr drive. Extra "fun" was the snowstorm we drove into. DS was fine and sleeping by the time we got there. I hugged his teacher so hard ...... she was terrific and did all the right things. She kept me updated by phone as we made the drive up there.
