Caleb and Daniel were home alone Thursday evening. Chris had a run to make to Pontiac, MI to pick up some people. I was working in the ER. Caleb called and said Daniel was all swollen up and itchy. Chris delayed his trip to come home to look at him and called me. I left work and came home. He was totally broke out in hives. Being the good nurse that I am I went immedialely to CVS and bought him some Benedryl and gave him some. 3 hours later he was doing the same. So, we had a little ER visit of our own.
Since, he has broken out at least every 6 hours even with the medication. He has had almost 100mgs of Benedryl in about a 12 hour period. I should give him more, but am waiting on our Dr. visit this afternoon. He won't let me show his chest and back but they look really awful.

Poor kid - that is terrible. What did the doc say?
Today the Dr. said "He's allergic to something. We don't know what. Keep giving him Benedryl, Prednisone, and keep the Epi-pen near by"
