So Kaylee was due to try something new. I couldn’t decide between beans or eggs. So I had Jon pick. He said to give her eggs. Then I was debating whether or not to give her a whole egg or just the yolk to try first. I decided to give her the whole thing. So I got her all set up with her dinner, then started on dinner for Jon and me. I wasn’t really focused on her as I was cooking. I kept looking at her and telling her to try the eggs. She finally decided that she would. Well just a couple of minutes later Jon was home and she was really starting to fuss. I still hadn’t REALLY looked at her. Usually the first five minutes of Kaylee eating dinner are pretty quiet as she stuffs her face, then when she’s not starving anymore she gets really chatty as she finishes. So I wasn’t really thinking anything of her carrying on until Jon got sick of and told her if she didn’t stop he’d give her a reason to fuss. Well that comment made me REALLY look at Kaylee. I felt soooo bad she was so puffy around her eyes and lips! I told Jon to get her cleaned and out so we could give her some benedryl, and he said she can not be allergic to EVERYTHING! He got her out and they played for a bit, and I watched as she got puffier while I finished making dinner for us. Jon finally admitted that she was indeed having an allergic reaction (after she sneezed lots in his hair during a shoulder ride hehe) to the eggs and we gave her some benedryl. She started to deflate over the next few hours, and by the next day was looking pretty normal. Just a little red around the eyes and lips. She’s all back to normal now, Thank heaven! It’s by far been the worst food reaction we have had so far. And the only one Jon’s been sad about. He doesn’t like broccoli or asparagus so he didn’t mind that her body reacted bad to those two. But he really likes eggs, and her little body REALLY doesn’t. So here are a couple of photos of Kaylee all puffy, and one where she’s all back to normal so you can really SEE the difference. This is the reason why we only do one new food a week. I’ve given her just egg yolk the past couple of days and at first thought she was doing o.k., but she’s starting to get a rash around her mouth so maybe not? We will see…

Right after Benedryl. 1/2 of it got on her instead of in her because of her super puffy lips.

About 5-10 min. after the Benedryl, and already starting to feel better. Look at the hive on her lip!

Two days latter all deflated and back to “normal”.
