How did you find out that your little one was allergic?
Within ten seconds of her swallowing that thing, she looked like a play dough machine, with foam coming out of her mouth. There was so much of it that she couldn't get a breath. I grabbed her out of her high chair, and sat down with her. She then began throwing up all over, so I took her clothes off. Then I could literally watch the rash spread as it rapidly covered her little body, to the point where even her eye balls were swelling.
During all of this, my nine year old had called my husband, who in turn called 911 because I was hysterical, thinking her tiny airway was going to close any minute and there was nothing I could do.
The firemen showed up, and thankfully one of them was a friend of mine, which calmed me down a little.
We got loaded into an ambulance, with my baby on an oxygen monitor and a little oxygen mask, and that was my very first ambulance ride. Ever. And I hope to God I never have to be in one again.
Still chokes me up thinking about it. I was so scared.
