Our sweetie pie is deathly allergic to peanuts! My sister and I were at Costco today and I gave Lindsey a bite of my cracker that had a tiny bit of peanut butter on it. With in the hour she had swollen up like a balloon. The all too familiar scene happened again. Me speeding to the ER and running in with my limp baby barely breathing. I couldn't stop crying as they began sticking the IV in her little arm, shooting her with an epi pen and waving oxygen in her face. It was all too familiar and too soon for that scene to unfold in front of my eyes....again. I spent the next 7 hours with her in the ER until she was cleared to come home. Things are going to be very different for us now that we know just how dangerous a small little nut can be.
