Tree nut allergy

What a bummer! Please be careful what you feed your kids. We had no idea that Hud was allergic to walnuts. He ate a cookie that had walnuts in it and in about 10 minutes started itching, then his eye swelled shut and the other one looked nearly as bad. He was itching his legs and complaining they were hot.

We gave him benadryl, we didn't have children's (lesson learned there) so we had to half the adult version. He's okay and didn't require any shots, but the swelling to his face was there for several days.

He was finally looking better today when he was stung by a bee. We were worried b/c he'd just had a reaction to the nut. His hand was swollen pretty good, but that was about it. Thank goodness. :)

He had an appointment next month to get tested for other allergies.
