Yucky Peanuts!




Decided to take a day off from work and have a "ME" day. A day where I can do whatever I want, which was to veg in front of the tv and do nothing pretty much all day. I decide that it is time for me to go and pick up Megan from the sitter. When I get there, she is wearing a different pair of shorts. When I ask her what happened, her sitter says that she threw up. All over her pants, blankie, horsey, and the sitter's carpet. So, I'm thinking, great, I take a day off just cuz and this is what happens... Megan gets the flu, I have to figure out if and when I can take off tomorrow, etc... We get home and she is fine. No fever, no stomach pain, asking for food. So, I ask her if she had any cereal today, she says no. I ask her what she had to eat today, she says, I don't know. I thinking ok, she just got a hold of oats, one of the foods she is allergic to. That is the typical reaction that she has when she has oats, pukes them all out and wants to eat again.

The sitter then calls to see how she is doing. I tell her fine, no more pukes. She says that Megan should be fine to come back tomorrow. I asked why. She then says that she made brownies for the kids and grabbed chips for the brownies. They ended up being peanut butter chips. So, that explains the pukes. Of course, our sitter feels HORRIBLE!! Megan was doing fine, so figured pukes where cured the incident. Well, as the night progressed, Megan starts coughing and coughing and sniffling and sniffling. So, I give her benydril now know what the problem was. After about an hour, her sniffles and coughing stopped, but then her eyes started to puff. Hence the picture. Poor thing! Thankful, her breathing is fine, no rash, no serious signs of the reaction. I can bet that our sitter will be more careful! I told Megan that she is allowed to tell her sitter that she was bad and not allowed to give her brownies anymore!
