Can be the most scary and unnerving feeling for a parent dealing with food allergies. That was the situation last week for Laurie and I. The morning the school called. Lynda accidentally got the wrong play doh in art class. Guess what play doh has Wheat in it! Me being 45 minutes away from the school and Laurie a good 25-30 that is the worst call to get. We are very fortunate the staff at our school is very hood and on the ball. One of the lunch room workers noticed Lynda was not looking right and breathing funny. She had rubbed the play doh into her eye and it started to react. The nurse at the school acted quickly and she was observed in the office for 2 hours. By the time I got home she did not look like she had a reaction. The point to this post is to encourage parents to work with your school. Drill and practice what happens when a reaction happens, because most reactions happy outside the home. Have someone desinated to be their champion and an expert on your child. We are so blessed to have this situation, but we started planning for it long before Lynda went to school. So tonight as she went off to "church school" I got one heck of a smile. Keep Safe
