Hives

Today was supposed to be spent with Daddy; Instead it was spent at the doctor :(

He is allergic to something and the doctor suspects STRAWBERRIES and/or Red Dye

Here are some images of our day. 

You will notice how he gets worse-then better with Benedryl.

He had received the Benedryl but it hadn't kicked in yet
Scared me to death. He was acting fine.
Doctor said next step steroids.

We at least know he needs Benedryl every 2 hours.  The doctor wanted us to do every 4 hours...but you see what happens if we wait.  Next step if he doesn't improve is corticosteroids.
