January 2000 An Allergic Reaction to Penecillin!
Austin gave everyone a real scare when he suffered an allergic reaction to a type of penicillin he was taking for a bad cold.
by Greg Landers

A heavily populated daycare facility is an ideal environment for thousands of viruses to thrive. Hundreds
of warm bodies (kids) to incubate and reproduce in. Anyone with kids in this situation understands the frequency
of trips to the doctor, the endless nights of fever, and the countless trips to the pharmacy for something.
Unfortuneatly, both Austin and Autumn have known nothing but this. At six weeks of age, they both started attending
a daycare center from three to five days a week.
The pictures you are seeing here, are the effects of an allergic reaction to a type of penicillin Austin
was prescibed for a respitory infection. Poor little guy, he looked like the Pilsbury dough boy. The swelling was
horrible. At one point his feet looked like balloons with toes sticking out of them. He broke out in what basically
looked like hives all over is body. Not only did they look like hives, but they itched too. He itched and itched and
itched and...well you get the idea.
At first, I thought he had caught mumps or measles or something to that effect. But after a quick call and a trip to the
doctor's office, we were quite relieved. In a matter of hours after recieving an injection from the doctor, he was almost
completely back to normal. He still had a few red spots from the itching, but that went away after a few days. It was
pretty scary there for a little while, but all turned out well fortuneatly.
