Sunset over the GF FO

Well, we had a bit of a scare tonight...

Just got back from spending the evening at the Emergency Room with Kira. Rob gave her a muffin from Tim Hortons (coffee place) and she had a severe allergic reaction. One side of her face was all swollen. By the time we got to the hospital, her eye was starting to swell up a little and she had welts all over her body.

They gave her some Benilyn and a prescription for an epi-pen. The swelling started to come down on it's own after about 2 hours but the welts were still there when we left. We have to follow up with her family doctor and just monitor her.

We're not 100% sure it was the muffin but it was the last thing she ate just before she reacted. I am calling Tim Horton's in the morning and getting the ingredients of that muffin just so we know. The doctor said that it was most likely some type of nut.

She's never had any type of reaction before and she's had strawberries and raspberries and peanuts and other typical reactive foods.


We are glad she is doing better Cass.
Nancy being a retired teacher and still subs as she is at school that is always a big worry with the big one is nuts IE Peanuts is real big.
You guys have a good day and say Hi to Rob

Karen, we were so worried and helpless, I don't know how you deal with this every day. Kudos to you for braving what you have to every day

Yikes, glad it turned out alright. HUgs for all

Good Morning from Sn*wy New Jersey........

Was finally able to get back on the Turbo Tax website when I woke up this morning and was able to get my taxes filed, I feel so much better now!!! We should have our refund deposited into our checking account in about 8 days. The refund will help in paying off the BOB cruise!!!

refund- what's a refund?

 

[JOANNEL]

Well folks, the sun is shining, it snowed another couple of inches overnight, all the neighbours are heading to the park at 11am to sledge so I need to make flasks of hot chocolate and get the bikkies ready. (AND MY CAMERA OF COURSE )

I'll take the waterproof one just incase I get snowballed mid shot

Have a great day folks

have fun and take lots of pictures.

Not a stupid question at all. It depends on what you mean by a 'good' view. I don't think any of them face the parking lot or have a dumpster view, but they can't guarantee you a particular view, just like a regular res.

I know that at AKL, concierge does not guarantee you a Savannah view, which always seemed weird to me. I'm not sure about the view from the Kidani Village concierge rooms.

At the Boardwalk, I had a concierge room with a garden view, but some have Boardwalk views ('good' is a relative term here, because some people don't like the Boardwalk view, they think it's noisy.)

Frank requested a MK view for the Contemporary concierge, but when I got there, they only had a Bay Lake view on the 14th floor in the category he reserved. So we took a mini-downgrade to the 12th floor (also concierge) to get the view we wanted.

Hope that helps.

Yep, thanks!

Happy Birthday Thomas!​

From me too

Thinking about what you said, I remember my niece as a small tot, having an allergic relation to a small metalic balloon that was sold at a check-out. We think it was the plastic straw handle. The side of her face went all red, but was cured with a anti-histamine.

Yep, it could have been anything. Allergies are on the rise - there are so many kids in our school with personal medical plans theres a whole wall in the staff room dedicated to it

Have a good time Karen. It didn't snow in London and it's thawing very well at the moment. I think we have some more due soon though.

We had a fab time - only just got back - 4 hours! - we're frozen but it was great. One of the neighbours took mulled wine so that helped

I'm off. I'm having a surgical procedure today and would love to come back to see some great vacation pics.

Later people....

You got that right girl. We are dreading going to our tax person.
Captial Gains and sold stock OUCH.
UBS stuck it to us so we moved to Edward Jones. We should have done it a long time a go.
Have a good day

[millerpjm]

Well, it's not a vacation pic, but....

I thought I'd share the "practice cake" I made....it's for the family party this weekend.

Let's see who can guess what it is....

 

[Nerbiepie]

Morning all,

Sheesh Cass I am surprised she reacted.. she has eaten there before.. that is weird.. but I think Karen is right it might have been on the table. What has the world come to when you cannot even trust where you are sitting.. do we have to wrap everything in protective plastic??

I lucked out and my kids have no allergies.. they are just whinny..LOL

Happy Birthday Thomas!!

8 months 21 days... sigh... If we all close our eyes and click our heels and whisper "theres no place like Disney cruise" will we get there faster??..lol

I think I might have to go to the doctors tonight.. I think I might have a sinus infection at this point or this cold is desperatly (sp) hanging on.

for Nancy and her day op!

So on wed (I everything is okie dokie with Kira) I will enlist the mighty Cass to help me with photo bucket (newbie here) and I will post some pics of our first experience at WDW in 2005 and some hat photo's have one of my mother in law with a doo rag and blonde hair from the rockin rollar coster..LOL

anyways longest post ever!!
hugs to those who need them!!

Karen, we were so worried and helpless, I don't know how you deal with this every day. Kudos to you for braving what you have to every day

Cass, Make sure that you have her seen my an allergist. She'll be tested for every common allergen and then you will have the peice of mind of knowing what sets it off. Don't be fooled into thinking that because she's had something in the past that it won't be the culprit. One can become allergic to anything at any time. In fact, the first time you are exposed to an allergen, you will not have an allergic reaction. One one exposure the person will become "sensitized" to the allergen and then next exposure will then result in an allergic reaction.

Oh no! - the poor little thing - at least you've found out early...get her allergy tested to find out the trigger and then deal with the fact that for the rest of your life you will ALWAYS be reading food labels

It would either have been something in the muffin or something off of the table you were sat at. Ellis has had reactions from just sitting at a table in a restaurant before we've even ordered .

Was she sick? have the hives gone down now on her body? Ellis' eye takes 2-3 days before its back to normal so dont panic if its still swollen.

When you see your G.P. make sure you get at least 2 epipens - one may not be enough in some cases. We have 2 at home, 2 in his medi-bag, 2 at school. They only last 1 year so get ones with long expiry dates on them or you'll be forever at the pharmacy

If you have questions just fire away and I'll try to help take away your worries. You'll get used to it .

The final triggers could either have been the chemical they cleaned the table with, or something you ate if you kissed her afterwards, so think what you had too.

When you get a reaction its pretty quick - usually within 20 mins if not muh quicker - (with Ellis its almost instant) so you can eliminate anything before 30 mins.

Big hugs to you all. Its real scarey to start with but you'll get used to it. You're handbags will now need to get bigger though to carry her medi-bag

Ditto!

At least you're getting your refund. The criminals that run our state are issuing IOU's

I'm off. I'm having a surgical procedure today and would love to come back to see some great vacation pics.

Good luck Nancy, I'll pray for you!

I am so glad she is ok. My DD (19) is allergic to bees. She always carry an epi pen with her. The first time she had a reaction we were in WDW and their emergency team is wonderful. I can not imagine have a child with food allergies. I agree that you and Karen are wonderful parents that will always take the precautions necessary.
