Peanuts

We found out earlier this year that Charlie is allergic to peanuts.  We had him tested and his reaction was bad enough that we have to carry an epi pen with us.  This has really opened our eyes and changed the way we buy and handle food.  We have to be careful everywhere we go.  For example, I had the kids in a changing room trying on clothes.  Someone had dropped a peanut on the floor.  I just barely caught Charlie as he went to pick it up off the floor.  This has changed the way we do a lot of things, but it hasn't been as bad as I originally thought.

Here is what happens when Charlie eats something with peanuts.  We are lucky it hasn't been anything worse.
