it happened. i spoke much, much too soon. the boy ate a small piece of cheese at school yesterday. it was an accident. an oversight. his teacher felt so guilty she could have cried. and i could have too.
we are so blessed. jack's reaction was mild compared to what it could have been. he had some eczema. some hives. some swelling of his face. a sleepless night. lots of pain & discomfort. and lots...no, scratch that.....TONS of bloody diarrhea (tmi? sorry 'bout that...) my poor, poor boy.
i know this is probably the first of many uh-ohs we will have to deal with. and we were so, so lucky. but it definitely was a not-so-gentle reminder that i can never get too comfortable.
food allergies...they bite.
