Many of you know that Blake is allergic to fish that have scales. His allergy is pretty-much opposite most "fish" allergies. He can eat shell fish & fish without scales (cod & halibut).... well, I guess I should say could eat.
We had a yummy cod dinner last night. Later that night Blake came down with a horrible case of the "itchies!" He developed hives right before my eyes & began to wheez. I got a little panicked - off to the hospital we go!
When we got to the ER, poor Blake had hives all over his body and his throat was starting to close off! YIKES. They gave him epinephrin, benadryl & some other drug that made his heart rate soar! After an exciting 2 1/2 hours, we were on our way home.
I guess his immune system has been compromised so much that he can't eat cod anymore. I'm sure it applies to his other favorites too; halibut, shrimp & crab. Bummer.
Live, Love & don't forget to Laugh! Kathy
Holy shit can the guy catch a break? Let him know I will be more than happy to eat his share from now on. We should carry an epi pen when we go camping.
