Hi all - A little excitement around here last night. H was gone out for a beer with his buddies (he hasn't seen most of his good friends for almost a month, what with all the travelling) and I was going to bed when D12 comes into my room and informs me that she ate 3 pistachio nuts before she went to bed (claims she never tried them before) and now the back of her throat "feels funny" and it feels hard to swallow!
Well, I gave her 2 benadryl right away and dug out the Epipen my H keeps for his bee sting allergy and put my clothes on and dug out my medical insurance card for her - luckily her symptoms started to subside just as I was ready to haul her off to the ER. Ended up sleeping out on the futon with her just to make sure her symptoms didn't come back in the middle of the night.
My mom has an allergy to macadamia nuts. Guess I'm going to have to watch out for pistachios in my daughter's diet now!
