Allergies

A little over a month ago we found out Cicily's allergic to cashews.
How the day went: Gammy was cutting up cashews for chicken salad sandwiches.  Cicily asked for some.  She ate 3/4 of one nut.  She started complaining that it was stuck and it was hurting her (right where it goes into the stomach).  So we gave her some milk and bread thinking that might help it go down.  20 minutes later she threw up all over herself and daddy, who had been holding her.  We got her changed into some different clothes, thinking that her body had just taken care of the problem, but we gave her a bowl just in case.  She of course threw up again, and she started itching the area where she threw up on herself.  So we looked at the area, and she had hives all over her lower stomach and groin area.  We gave her some Benadryl, and kept a close eye on her breathing and her hives.  They kept climbing to her chest so we took her into the doctor.  The doctor checked her over, of course said she was having a bad reaction.  Left to get her prescriptions for a steroid to suppress the reaction and an epi pen, in addition to info for a referral to an allergist.  Then he checked her breathing again to make sure she was ok before we left.
