dyk an update on the strawberry jello cup situation: (cut and paste from a post on my spirited kids board)
Yesterday while I was changing Deklan Abigail got into the fridge and got and opened and ate an entire SF jello cup - it was strawberry. I don't know why she got it, it's been in there for months and she KNOWS those are mine and not to touch them. She hadn't been defiant or bad or anything at all that day. I don't know what came over her.
You know what's all over her now? Hives. She still got to go spend the night at Gigi's even though I told her that the jello might make her sick and if it did she had to come home. She tossed and turned all night, wet the bed, cried in her sleep and now has itchy angry hives all down the RIGHT side of her body from her face to her ankles.
She hasn't had an behavioral probs but she did melt down when we left the pool and she's extremely lathargic and she's running a fever. This will prob last about 2-3 days. It can be as bad as 7-10 but one jello cup shouldn't last that long.
I gave her zyrtec, singulair and her dye-free benedryl so the hives are looking much better.
We've had several talks now about how the red dye in the jello is what made her sick and those itchy hives and feeling "icky" are what "SICK" is. I think she has a better understanding now - before she would try and convince me something didn't have dye or it wouldn't make her sick and I think now that she's got some PROOF on her, it will help her understand. She's not had a breakout of any kind with hives or behavior problems related to dye or spice reactions in about 16-18 mos so it was hard to explain to her what hives and feeling bad really were.
Here are the pics - after the medicine - there are several down her back and on her butt that I didn't take a picture of - most of these are shoulders and legs and one on her inner thigh.
2 on her shoulder, one on her back
2 really itchy ones on her outter leg
One on her calf
One just beginning to blossom on her inner thigh - they start up at her neck and on her wrists and work their way down - so the ones you saw on her shoulder were "old" from last night - they will fade over the next two weeks until they look like a little bruise and then are gone. No lasting effects.
dyk I am trying to get the pictures off my desktop PC - I've set it up for the kids, but I can't get the computer to burn them to the CDs - ONE worked and then nothing -
dyk I have them in folders appropriately sized and everything for the size disc I have - it should have taken me about 20 minutes over 4 700mb cds to get it all off the computer and stored away - it's all my 2007 pics
dyk here's my complain of the night: I have a headache, my throat is feeling like it's going to get sore (strange I know but it's true) and I think AF is around the corner - which is off - that's early, but whatever
