Hi Roger!
Love the tidbits and the great photos!
I can relate to the peanut thing. My girl was at day care, hovering around 2 years old. I got a call from my husband (who was away on a business trip) that daycare had called to say our daughter was having an allergic reaction -- HE said not to worry. I didn't at first, until I talked to another "new" Mom. She wondered if I was going to go get my daughter. I started thinking and called Day care...and that uncanny sixth sense took hold...."GO!" I went to get her, and like Lydia, face so swollen, eyes were slits....even with the bendryl the provider had given her at the advice of our physician. I started crying......Long and short of it...the allergist said peanuts are poison. She is really fantastic about it though... always asks if her candy, cookies, etc. has any peanuts, and knows the yellow bags of M & Ms and most orange wrappers are also off limits.
The allergy is becoming more common apparently. I sometimes blame myself as there are some theories that seek to prove that mothers impart the sensitivity....I ate a ton of PB when I was carrying her. PP
My word, she's beautiful, Roger. Mike R.
Hey Roger,
My girls had allergies as kids still do I think. My youngest grandson (almost 7) has allergy to peanuts. Found that out when I fed him a sandwich and his lips turned red.
There are so many things with peanut butter in them - or just plain peanuts- or made on equipment with other things that contain peanuts.
You'll have to read the labels well. Lydia will have to tell evryone she can't have peanuts....my grandson says it all the time!
I experienced some allergic symptoms and my eyes puffed up...so I know what you experienced with Lydia. Benadryl didn't work, neither did a cortisone injection. So the doctor suggested I carry an EpiPen.

I always enjoy the photos ... and I want to thank Rosemarie for finally getting the spelling of Benadryl right!

BTW, I also have a lot of allergies, however PB is not one of them - I eat it all the time with good health results. Tomatoes, not so much.
Sorry to hear about Lydia's scare. Glad to hear things are well, but we've got to keep in better touch!
Things here are basically well, although we've been laying low with various levels of colds (wife and kids) and what seems to have been a low-grade flu for well over a week now for me. I think we're within a few days of coming out of our respective bugs all the way around, though - maybe just in time for the next of our rainy weekends!

hi roger,
how scary! I'm glad Lydia is OK. I hope the allergist says that she's not allergic! But if she is, i'm glad you caught it and now have the epipen!
