Today we were suppose to go to Lodi to see his RDI specialist. Unfortunately, I woke up with swollen eyes and hives all over in the middle of the night. So, I OD on Benadryl and did not wake up until 11am! Brendan also got up late. So, it was best that we didn't go.
Brendan has been off today, but no headbutting or hitting. Yay! He was very indecisive on where he wanted to go. First he wanted to go to Target, then ToysRUs. He couldn't make up his mind. After driving around, we finally ended up at Target but he was progressively agitated. He did get out of the car but was going to headbutt me and stopped. I told him to get back in the car and we left. He wanted to got to the park, so we went there instead and hiked about a mile to the creek. It was so peaceful there just listening to the water. Then we stopped off to buy a little (but live) Xmas tree. He was so happy. He also wanted to get lights and ornaments. His old ABA therapist was scheduled to Brendansit tonight so Paul and I could go out to dinner. So, I thought decorating the minitree would be fun for them.
Brendan was so happy to see her. They always have fun together. Anyway, we went to dinner and then Paul went to buy a monitor for Brendan's computer because his stopped working and I went to the dollar store near our house. The therapist called me to say that Brendan was in the bathroom and saying his belly hurt. So, I came home. When he walked out of the bathroom his whole face was swollen! I immediately gave him Benadryl and a remedy for hives. Found out his Dad had a pint of B&J ice cream in the freezer that had milk, soy, wheat and eggs! Everything he is allergice to. Oh! and it also had rum balls! Brendan had wanted some so she gave him a little. Poor Brendan! The therapist felt so bad but it wasn't her fault. It shouldn't have been in there anyway. (sigh)
So, after about one hour, the swelling started to subside. So, I got him ready for his bath. Well, he ended up getting sick to his stomach in the bath. To make a long story short, he fell asleep on his bed while his Dad and I cleaned up the mess. It was good that he got it out of his system. I will be sleeping in his room tonight to make sure the swelling goes down and he is breathing okay.
