Took Ash to Hyvee today to get some of his things from the healthmart. I was so excited because I had coupons for some stuff and any little bit helps as his foods are so expensive. Also, Asher loves going to the store. He is so friendly :) I take antibacterial wipes to clean the cart off and I cleaned it good like I always do. This will be his third grocery cart reaction. It hasn't happened for a while. We made it through the second isle of the healthmart and he says "itchy mama" :( His little hands were bright red and bumpy and he was rubbing his eyes SO hard. I looked for hives and didn't see any. But how itchy he was alarmed me enough. I gave him benadryl. Thank god we didn't need EPI. He is napping now and I am checking on him every 5 minutes. Just a reminder that NOWHERE can be assumed safe and residue is everywhere.
On a happy note, Ash pointed out the eggs from a distance and said "ACKY Mama!" I said "Very good baby, we don't like eggs" :) He is learning!
Shite Shannon. I'm sorry this happened today. Love that you started a blog and when I read this first entry I cried. I love that you are such a wonderful mother, and he is a lucky lucky boy to have you. I can't imagine how overwhelmed you must feel most of the time, but he is the cutest little thing, and I would imagine that makes up for a lot of things, just hearing him say mama, and knowing that he needs you more than anyone.
ReplyDeleteWe used to use a floppy seat for the grocery carts

when we took our son out to the grocery store. He doesn't need it now, but perhaps that would help Ash to not come in contact with the allergens? I'd wipe down the cart before I stick the floppy seat on never-the-less.
