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.

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.
