Ezra's Allergic Reaction

Jacob's arrival came with as much joy as there was excitement! The second night in the hospital we received a phone call from my sister informing us in as careful way as possible (so as to not panick the new-again mommy) that Ezra was having a really big reaction to something. She said he was covered in welts and rash. I was horrified, and felt so badly for my Bubba. This was not what we needed in addition to a new baby, and some pretty big changes in schedule, etc, for Ezra. Until I saw it in person, I had no idea how severe it really was. At times, Ezra reminded me of the actor in the movie Hitch, who has an allergic reaction and his ears swell and stick out, as well as other parts of his face.
We eventually figured out he was having a reaction to some meds he was on for an earache. (Non-penicillan, as he has had so much penicillan, he is basically immune to it!) He was so miserable! We had to rush the nurses to dismiss us quickly so that we could get Ezra to the doc. The doc had us give him some allergy meds, which helped with the severity, but the poor kid has been pretty miserable for the last 2 weeks. He also gave us a prescription for a steroid, but we wanted to avoid that if we could.
Yesterday, we went to do some allergy testing to see if there are some triggers for all of his sinus infections/ ear aches. Initially, the doc thought he was going to be allergic to a lot of things, but several of them went away and left only grass and sage (just like Daddy)! So, we are now on a daily nose spray, in hopes of avoiding as much sickness as possible. Poor kiddo! he has basically been sick ever since he turned one. I sure pray this helps!
