Happy NINE Months at the Hospital

Gabriel was rushed to emergency due to an egg allergy. Within 10 minutes of consuming soup with eggs, he became very irritable and started developing rashes all over his face. Then he proceeded to vomit.

I called the emergency nurse line and was informed to rush him to the hospital. On the drive to the hospital he was coughing and crying. When I arrived to the hospital, his eyes were so swollen he could barely open them. Plus, he scratched his face and forehead so hard that there was blood.

We ran into the children`s emergency hospital and was immediately admmited. The doctors and nurses were great and very helpful.

He was given benedryl and after four hours in the hospital,we were given the green light to go home. We will need to see a specialist. He is now doing a lot better.
