Evie Drama

Evie had an oopsie at daycare--even after switching, and meeting with the kitchen people, and be really vigilant about her milk allergy, she was given a veggie burger that had not one, not two but at least three kinds of milk in it. Not surprisingly, she puffed up like a marshmallow and had to go to the ER.

She got the epipen of magicalness, breathing treatments (with a dinosaur mask that she loves) and had to be kept overnight for observation. Luckily she seems back to normal already except for some stomach gas/yucks. Even when we got to the ER on Tuesday, despite having lower than desired oxygen levels and only being able to open her eyes partway, Evie was chatting up a storm and being super cute. She was a real trooper because she had to get an IV port too :(. Poor poked and prodded buggy!

We are meeting with daycare director today to try and figure out how something like this could happen and make sure a better plan is in place so this is the last time. I am afraid they are going to be doing some finger pointing at us, but hopefully I am wrong (one of the ER doctor's yelled at me and chastised me pretty hard core :(. I wasn't even there--if I had been she never would have eateb that, duh). I am feeling pretty edgy about the whole situation so gloves will be off if this isn't taken very seriously.

In good news, Evie did her first potty in months! It was mostly an accident, but it was still success! She sits on the toilet at least 30 minutes a day and just doesn't want to go in there. She happily sits there and then she will try and get up and say she needs a diaper on. The other day we let her run around naked to see if that worked and she peed on the fireplace hearth and the mirror we have propped up there (it was kind of funny). She freaked out though:(.

Kids is tough, man.

So the ER doc is pissed because you have your daughter in daycare? Oh, is he going to pay for you to stay home to "prevent" this? WTH? Brilliant.
I hope you get some answers about this. Jer and I are pissed about it too for you!
