The last month in the Jackman house has been interesting... to say the least. In the last month, we have visited the ER, been to the Dr. many times and been home with throwing up kids, twice!
First, about a month and a half ago, Mason had an allergic reaction to something, at the time we thought it might be either sun screen or peanut butter. He woke up on a Monday morning with hives and his face was very swollen. He had the same type of symptoms when we came back from our trip to Florida and the Dr. wasn't concerned. She thought it was a heat rash and said it would go away.
After an early morning visit to the ER, the Dr. thought the reaction was more than likely to peanut butter. I didn't agree so much, considering Mason lives off of peanut butter, but she is the Dr. The two common factors is the sun screen. We had to stay away from both and she suggested that we take him to Dr. Miller and get him allergy tested.
The following week, Jacob had to go to the Dr. for a cough that just won't go away. It was thought to be allergies and we were told to give him Zyrtec for about 2 weeks and see if that would help. Surprise, Surprise... It didn't. We went back and now he has an inhaler.
In the mean time, Mason has had peanut butter with no reaction. The culprit is the sun screen, Water babies. Needless to say it doesn't surprise me. Mason has such sensitive skin that I should have expected it.
Last week, we were going through a local drive thru and Jacob started yelling, "He's puking, He's puking!" Mason was so sick. All the way home Ryan had to sit in the back of the car with a paper bag. Thank goodness it only lasted about 24 hrs. He is still too little to understand he needs to get sick in something; a bowl, the toilet, anything!
As of last night, Ryan was the next victim to the nasty flu, if that's what it is. Hopefully it is done with our family!
