Sawyer had another allergic reaction to
his meds last night. I pumped him with
the max dose of Benadryl the moment I noticed him itching and developing a
rash.
It was a narrow escape from the emergency
room because he was miserable and stayed that way throughout the night. However, his tongue and lips did not swell up
like Thursday night's episode. So, I
held off going to the E.R., stayed up all night keeping him as comfortable as
possible and kept the Benadryl flowing.
As much as I appreciate CHKD, I did not
want to be admitted into the hospital again this week. Of course, there was no way I would
jeopardize Sawyer's welfare to avoid the hospital. I kept in close contact with his doctor
throughout the night.
Fortunately, we think we found the med
that is the culprit of the allergic reactions.
Unfortunately, it's one of his anti-rejection meds, Prograf. So, Sawyer's doc just replaced this drug with
another anti-rejection drug called Cyclosporine. One of the side effects is "increased hair growth on
face/body". Maybe I should take a few doses. Seriously, I hate to read about these
meds. Very scary stuff.
