Oh Nuts!

  As if we needed more excitement! We found out Riley has a severe nut allergy yesterday. I was eating lunch as usual with her. I had gotten myself some peanut butter, crackers and banana. Well I was using the same knife to cut the banana for her. I wiped the peanut butter off before slicing the banana, realizing she shouldn't have peanut butter so young. I don't know if the peanut butter was on the knife or she got a little from somewhere else. Needless to say within minutes she broke out in hives. I called the pediatrician and they wanted me to bring her in right away. Tim met me on our way because I wanted one of us to ride with her in the back of the car. The nurse told me to call 911 if she started having trouble breathing. :( The Dr could not believe how severe her reaction was for no more than she had. The Drs office is referring us to a pediatric allergist at Riley to go see. They've also given us a handful of epi pens to have at all times. Poor babygirl :( I'm just so thankful it was only a tiny amount because it could have been alot worse had she ingested a significant amount.

Her playing earlier in the day, she loves pulling herself up on the couch! :)
