A Second Reaction

There's been a lot going on lately. With the two birthdays and Easter we've been busy. Easter was nice. I love being able to stay home and watch conference. General Conference in the Springtime reminds me of bringing home new babies. Having Conference on Easter made it even more exciting. Gma Barnes always has an eggcelent Easter egg hunt at her house. Kendi could hardly wait through both sessions of conference.

Aydri is eating a lot more baby food than she was a few weeks ago. It's hard to go back to spoon feeding when you've gotten so used to her feeding herself finger foods.
Kendi has absolutely no personality!
This was on Aydri's birthday. I can never get a good picture of them looking and smiling at the same time so we settled for just smiling. We had a BBQ at Jared's parents house.
Aydri had her own cake to smash. Not much made it into her mouth.

The birthday girl.
Jared had decided to put Ranch Dressing on his salad at dinner because I don't buy it anymore. It is mayonnaise based and contains eggs. We accidentally fed Aydri off his fork. Jared immediately realized we'd made a mistake and grabbed the Benadryl from the diaper bag just in case. I was hoping she didn't get any egg or that it wouldn't be a big deal. Before I could even get the medicine measured out she already had a rash on her legs. By the time we were done giving it to her it was up to her chest. All of my sisters were with me. They are all in some sort of medical profession and had been discussing my EpiPen debate. They sided with the Pharmacist and I decided not to give it to her right away. The rash seemed to improve with the Benadryl, but we kept a close eye on her. She was miserable for the rest of the party. She almost didn't even want to eat her cake. Poor thing. After about three hours her rash started simmering back and her nose sounded congested so we called the doctor. Of coarse they told us to go to the ER. The ER doctor thought she was stuffy from an eye infection she appeared to be having. I knew she had a cold because her eye always goops up when she's sick. He seemed to think it was conjuctivitist (pink-eye). Can you ask for a 2nd opinion in the ER? It wasn't a big deal so we just monitored her for a while, got some prescriptions for the reaction and went home. Getting the Benadryl in her quickly helped the reaction not get so out of control. All the ER staff were nice and sympathetic because it was her birthday. We are feeling like pretty lousy parents.
