Allergic to cashews

A few weeks ago, Daddy shared a tiny little piece of a cashew and a peanut with me. Shortly afterwards, I broke out with hives around my mouth. Mommy and Daddy took me to the quick care doctor and I didn't have any respiratory issues, they gave me benedryl, and I headed home. Mommy made me an appt with my pediatrician and she sent me to an allergy specialist. They tested me for peanut, cashew, pecan, walnut, and an almond allergy. It turns out that I am allergic to the cashew. I am glad it is not a peanut, because I love peanut butter. Now Mommy has to carry and epi pen with her and I have one at daycare too. I will have to be very careful what I eat, but it could have been a lot worse. All is good....

I'm glad it was just cashews. We will all be here so that he doesn't get exposed to those naughty things. Love you, Grayson !!
