Brendan’s Allergic Reaction.
December 7th 2008 by BrendansMum in UncategorizedFriday Dec 5th 2008.
It happened so quick, I dont have pics, nor did I even lock my house or my car at the hospital.
I dressed him at approx 8:45 he had nothing less than 5 mins later he was grizzly and came up to me with small red lumps on his arms, within a few mins his hands and feet were swollen. I literally watched him go red from the time to leave home and get to the hospital, less than 5 mins, his face was red, his arms and legs were red and welted. He looked like a lobster 
As soon as we got to the emergancy dept, we didnt have to wait they took him straight him , weighed him, listened to his heart and checked him over.
Gave a dose of steroids and an antihistamine at approx 9:30am. We waited approx 30-45 mins and his rash was already looking better so they let us go home. At first sign of it re-appearing we are to go back.
Went down without too much trouble and slept all night.

Brendan woke up and his face was swollen. I took him back to the hospital, who got us an appt with the dr. The dr gave us a prescription for the antibiotics and we were sent on our way.
We have no idea what caused the reaction, but thankfully today, Sunday 7th Dec, he’s fine.
