An Eggciting dinner....

It was a typical crazy dinner in our house last night. Pizza for the three of us was in the oven and we were feeding the boys, all the while Abigail kept asking if her pizza was ready. So when the oven finally started beeping Guy went to get Abigail's ready and I took over with Ryan, b/c Justin was already done. On the menu for the boys...sweet potato and bananas with rice cereal and our second day of egg yolks--a finger food, which is getting everywhere but in the mouth. All of a sudden Ryan starts getting really red, fussy and a little rash is forming all over his left eye and belly, basically anywhere the egg had touched his skin....so Abigail just got her cut pizza and we rushed Ryan up to the bath, before it continued to spread. He also started to sneeze and get a runny nose and of course watery eyes. Abigail was such a big girl, she ate her pizza like a big girl by herself, with the phone set on intercom so she could hear and talk to us and we could hear her--it was great she asked if everything was ok and told me at least twice that she loved me and missed me--what a sweety. We also called the pediatrician, to find out where to go from here and whether or not and how much Benadryl we could give Ryan. The rash ended up going away on it's own, and although we could have- he didn't need any Benadryl last night, but the pediatrician recommended no more eggs until he's tested for allergies. She also said it was important to have him tested especially because eggs are used in a few vaccines. So it looks as though Ryan may have an egg allergy--no surprise since he's always had skin sensitivities, allergy testing may not be such a bad thing for him, but will be discussed in further detail at his 9 month appointment at the end of the month....
