TOo tired to type much but Colton had another anaphylactic episode today. This one came on much faster and was more severe than the last. By the time I got the epi pen in him he was gagging and foaming at the mouth. Thank God I had an epi pen, I honestly never thought I'd need one of those and hadn't even read the directions. After an ambulance ride and 8 hours in the ER we are home. Back to the Children's Hospital in the AM as they are trying to figure out if it is truly an allergic response or something called angioedema. (not really sure what that is?!?) Anyway most terrifying experience of my life. Especially because we do not know why these are happening or what is triggering them. Thankfully Kena was at school and missed all the excitement, and my best friend kept her for us all afternoon/evening and did loads of fun stuff with her. I'm glad she is relatively oblivious, she worries about her little bro. I feel like the resident debbie downer! I'm not sure who I pissed off in my last life but really this bizarre-o crap could just stop now. At least, stay away from my kids. |

Ugh, FG. I'm so sorry you had to go through that again...and so glad that you had an epi pen. Hopefully they will be able to determine a cause, whether it be allergies or otherwise...and if it is allergies, exactly what is he allergic to. |

thanks guys. I'm so tired I could cry and at the same time so angry I want to throw something through the window. nothing makes sense right now and I just want to crawl under the blankets with him and sleep for two days. heading to bed but pretty sure I'll be up all night watching him breathe. |

Flashy, major jingles for you and Baby C. Angioedema is something that Mr. OTB is very familiar with. Basically it means edema with no known origin. We have epi-pens *everywhere.* There are things that can be done (at least in Mr. OTB's case) to help make the reactions less severe and much more controllable. PM/Facebook/e-mail me if you want to chat further about this. And thanks for your message yesterday as well. Sorry I have not responded but since, as usual, we lead parallel lives of sorts I have also been a bit overwhelmed. I wish we lived closer. |
