Poor Cody

I don't know what happened to him but as we were driving my mom home on Saturday evening, Cody began throwing up in the car.  We were slightly freaking out cause this is the only the 2nd time he's ever thrown up in his 6 1/2 years of life.  Ken immediately pulled over off to the side of the road and I was trying to unbuckle him as he was throwing up all over me, the seat and the Ipad.  Gasp you think.  I know me too.  My poor little Cody.  Luckily we were only 7 miles from our house.  So we turned around and quickly took him home.

We took off all his clothes and gave him a shower.  Poor little guy was so upset with himself.  We reassured him that it was okay and that we were here to help him.  He just has to tell us how he feels, and the biggest question is what in the world did you eat?

After throwing up and hives all over, we gave him benadryl and his body started looking so much better and Cody even said he felt better too.  Then he quickly fell asleep.

I went to the neighbors house to see if she had any idea of what might have happened.
We went though all the things he ate.  And he's eaten all of that stuff at their house before.  It was just so weird.  He was outside playing all day, rolling around in the grass, running hard with his little buddies.  He started itching non-stop so we figured it was the grass or his seasonal allergies.  Little did we expect it to be food allergies.  At last Nichole said, could it be the buns?  I thought to myself....can't be.  But turns out the buns had sesame on them.  So I did a little searching and sure enough, sesame is in the peanut family.  Go figure.

So, the mystery behind Cody's allergic reaction today may have been sesame seeds.  I'll be calling his allergist tomorrow to find out.  What's unfortunate is, Ken and I were really hoping that his food allergies were going away.  We truly didn't want him to gain a new allergy.  But the good news is, if he truly is allergic we can avoid this food and hopefully he wont' have a reaction like this again.
