pre-vacation scare

William broke out into hives as we were getting ready to leave for a long weekend in Ocean City with Bill's family. Perfect timing! =) Of course, we freaked out and called the doc right away. We spoke to an awesome nurse there named Janice and she said to give him Benadryl right away and he should be ok. It would also be all right for us to continue on our trip (since it's only for the long weekend), but that it was important we schedule an appointment with an allergist asap. The nurse said that because his eye and other parts of his face swelled up, it was a pretty severe allergic reaction to something. Nothing new, as far as we know, has been introduced to William, so she said it was important to find out soon what caused the allergic reaction, as the next one could be more serious. We have an appointment this Tuesday morning, but William has to be antihistimine-free for 3 days prior... I guess so they can do testing on him. Any prayer you would offer up for him and us would be so appreciated. We will keep you updated as things progress.
