Long night with Skylar

Since Skylar has been doing so well trying many new foods (even chunky foods) we decided to introduce her to wheat the other day. We gave her 2 wheat spiral noodles & she enjoyed picking them up & feeding herself. About 2 hours later she woke up screaming. She had hives all over & her eyes were so puffy they were swollen shut. Thank God she never had trouble breathing. We put cold cloths on her eyes & within about 10 minutes she could open her eyes & the hives started to go away. I stayed up all night with her & watched her sleep to make sure her breathing was normal. The next day she was smiling & playing but still not quite herself. Her eyes were still very red & puffy. She slept great last night & today her beautiful eyes were back to normal & she was playing & laughing...back to her old self! We called her Dr's office & they said not to give her anything with wheat & next month at her checkup they will test her for food allergies. Hopefully she will outgrow it. I'm just so glad she's ok.
