Reaction

We took a break from the chicken and went back to Kara's two safe meats - beef and ham. She had beef for lunch yesterday in her spaghetti and then ham for supper last night, along with a little bit more beef when she was at Grandma and Grandpa's house. I packed her safe little meal, as I always do when we leave the house with her. We were taking her big sister out to her favorite pizza joint for going to bed like a big girl all week. Leaving Kara with Grandma and Grandpa would be more fun for both girls and we wouldn't have to worry about keeping Kara out of the pizza!

We got back to pick up Kara, she ate really well, all of the dinner we sent with - ham, green beans and some Kara-safe oyster crackers - and then she wanted more so they gave her a Kara-safe hotdog. While we were still there she had a very icky, questionable diaper. What the heck? We went over with his parents everything she had eaten through the day and couldn't figure it out. Oh well, it's not unusual for her to have off symptoms lately. I started thinking back to how I thought she was having a build reaction to the chicken, then reminding myself she hadn't had it in 2 days.

We packed up to get home for bedtime, to stick with our routine that we had going so well. Both girls were in bed and Brian and I were watching TV. We heard this horrible scream, he muted the TV as I jumped up to run upstairs. He asked if he should come and I yelled "follow!" Deja Vu struck hard. The screaming, the foul smell coming from her bedroom, I knew what was happening before I even got in there. We found her sitting in her crib, covered in vomit. I grabbed her and went to the bathroom to get her cleaned up while Brian stripped the crib, the entire time wondering what the heck she was having a reaction to. Once I got her settled down and cleaned up we went down to snuggle, to make sure she was ok. Her tummy was one big knot and she had a few really big, questionable burps. No more vomiting occurred though. (Very strangely, I forgot about our ER plan - the letter we have in place if she does have a reaction.) I think she did ok with this one because she only vomited the one time. She took a few sips of water and snuggled in while he called his parents to go over everything again.

We have no real idea what the heck caused this reaction. It wasn't chicken because it's been a few days since having it. It was beans, ham or beef unless she got a hold of something she couldn't have, which I kind of doubt - she's SO good at picking things off the floor if she finds something, and bringing it to me. I can't imagine what the heck happened. It's been over a year since her last vomiting reaction. I want to say it was last December that she had the oat reaction.

Today's diet? Kix and Neocate so far. Can't go wrong with that - I'm not ready to give her anything after what happened last night!
