bad week

earlier this week, paris snapped at noah in the face, i saw the whole thing. noah did nothing wrong. paris was not feeling well that day, vomiting and walking funny, b/c he rehurt his back by jumping on and off the couch again. so yes, he was not feeling well. paris has been getting more crotchety and snippy especially with other small dogs. so while he tolerated noah's abuse when he was younger, i am afraid he won't of ryan. so my mom offered to take him. we will pay all expenses and of course noah can visit. noah cried at first-- got really panicked that we were giving away his dog, but he is happy he is going to nana b's house at least.

and then yesterday, we were eating lunch--turkey sandwhich left over from subway, watermellon and then at the end i washed and gave him some store bought raw sugar snap peas. so that is why i say it was the peas, it was at the end of lunch. now he has had those s s peas many times. we planted it in our garden last year and noah ate them raw, right off the vine every day. it is a legume family and he always eats peanuts, peanut butter and beans and peas. i know allergies can develop at any time. while we were eating lunch he started making a face about the peas and said he did not like them anymore, they are rough on his throat. then he said he needed a break and went to lay on the couch. odd...
he came back and said his throat hurt, and he had hives all around his mouth. so i gave him 12.5 of benadryl and called joe.. i listened to his breathing, which was fine, as he has reactive airway and getting on albuterol more often now when he gets sick. and he is on singulair for his allergies now. and his eczema is getting worse, too. (yes, i know the triad of allergies, asthma and eczema. never diagnosed with asthma though). so i looked in his throat and he had tons of bumps all on the inside along the side on the back of his throat and his tonsils were huge. so i am thinking crap.. either swollen airway or you have strep and are not symptomatic..(no fever, malaise or other complaints).
so i called the dr and gave him another 12.5 and the dr called back and said to bring him to the er b/c there is throat involvement and she was worried about delayed anaphylaxis. let me preface that he was in no distress and playing and asking to watch tv. so i gathered him and the baby and went to the er. i was very happy with the dr and how he treated me and noah. joe met us there. no meds were given, as in no distress, although i think he could have started the prelone there. but we got a rx for two epi pens and prelone.

so i am baffled. i looked in his throat wth the er dr, and the bumps were gone, but i wonder if i did not look well enough b/c last night after he ate an apple, he started complainig that his mouth was itchy and was rubbing his eyes and face like crazy. so he got another dose of benadryl, already had the prelone on board and i made him sleep with us. and those bumps are here and the swollen tonsils. i just looked again, too. so is he sick? i dont know. but in the er, on his own, he said his throat was itchy and pointed right to the base of his throat between the two collar bones. he said it was the peas, on his own. so i do believe it was a true allergic reaction, but i am confused why those bumps are there...

back from pedi. the swelling and bump are called cobblestones from chronic postnasal drip from his seasonal allergies. but based on the er presentation and my reports and picture, we are seeing an allergist on june 7th. probably skin and blood tests....
