Saturday after lunch, Rodney and I decided to give Beau (less than 1/4 teaspoon) peanut butter. He spit it out initially and then licked a little off the spoon. About 5 minutes later, Rodney asked me to come look at Beau. He had small red dots around his nose, mouth, and chin. We called 911 and they were at our house in under 3 minutes! It is great to live so close to the fire station now. They checked him out for 20 or so minutes and said his breathing was great, but that we should still take him in to the ER to get checked out. So, we headed to Children's. We waited forever there and in that time Beau's small rash ended up in a head to toe red splotchy rash. Finally, a Dr. came to check on us and put Beau on a some steroids to hopefully help the rash clear up. It worked great and after another hour or so we headed home. Beau has been fine ever since we got home. He actually was fine for the whole process. He loved the attention from the paramedics at our house and laughed at the Doctors at the ER.

Rodney and I are so thankful for the allergic reaction only being on his skin. The Doctors say the rash should be gone completely within a few days. As a family, we are doing as much research as we can to protect Beau from ever having this type of reaction again. We have a Doctors appt. Monday with his pediatrician, so just pray for widsom for us and for our Doctor so that we can see what to do next.
