Worst Day EVER!

Yesterday was by far the worst day of my life. I could have lost you Grant, forever, had I not went with my mommy instincts.  What happened? It turns out that you are allergic to tree nuts, and most sensitive to cashews. We had no idea. You have had them before, as far as we knew. Nana and Papa always have mixed nuts on the counter and the kids frequently eat them at their house. You visited nana and papa while daddy and I took Veda and Grayson to ice skating lessons. You shared a handful of nuts with papa. Shortly after you started complaining of a sore throat and tummy ache, you refused to eat or drink anything else and you fell asleep on the couch. None of these things felt off for us because you didn't have a nap earlier in the day and you were still on antibiotics for strep throat. When we picked you up, you were worse. You were crying and coughing a lot. I honestly thought you were getting croup because the last bout of strep that you had, you go croup right after. We took you home and got you ready for bed, because if your sick you need a lot of rest to get better. I put you to bed and I could still hear you coughing very frequently and then about 20 mins later you started crying. THANK GOD for that! I went to check on you and I was HORRIFIED! Your face was so puffy and your eye was nearly swollen shut. You were wheezing and I immediately new what was happening. I rushed you to the hospital where they gave you steroids and breathing treatments and watched over you for a while. The experts agreed that you had an anaphylaxis response to the nuts. I'm just so thankful you were ok. Had I not went in to comfort you when you were crying, you likely wouldn't be here with us today. My heart would be broken and I don't think I could ever heal from such devastation. I love you baby boy!
