For the second time in his short life, Hugito is rushed to the ER!

I am so glad your baby is okay. Thank goodness you found out now! Give him a big hug for me!

A note to everyone who reads this: anything you eat can be a source of an allergic reaction, not just common things like shellfish and nuts or peanuts.

Speaking as someone who is allergic to as diverse items as celery and beef (among others) just because you've never heard of some being allergic to something doesn't mean you aren't!

Heck, I even sprung a new one on my well-experienced allergist. I am "allergic" to Sucralose, the artificial sweetener. She said that's nothing they could test for, even, as it doesn't have a "protien" that would cause an allergic reaction, but the symptoms I get after drinking anything with sucralose (a.k.a. Splenda) in it perfectly matches other allergic reaction I have had.

Still glad our Hugito is okay, and momma was quick enough to spot the reaction and got him to the hospital in a timely fashion. I am also glad he lost none of his equanimity given the situation, and that he was still a happy baby through most of the ordeal. Do, please, give that boy a raspberry on the tummy for me, okay?

Aww! Poor Hugito and family! We are all glad that he is okay, though!

Poor Hugito! And poor mommy, you must have been scared to death! I glad little Hugito is ok.

Thank god Hugito is okay!! What a scare!!

Karen is so right, My niece is allergic to most things! she cannot eat out, at school, or even at a friends house as she has to be very carefull, something as simple as a friends birthday cake could spark off her allergies! Her mom has to make everything she eats by scratch. Her bigest issue is with anything made from soy!
