We ate at Boudreaux's in the Highlands with Allen and Sara. (Sara and I wanted Pho but whatever.) Afterwards we went to Pinkberry which by the way is completely overrated. Nick and I settled with chocolate yogurt because the original tastes like sour cream. Ramona chewed on the spoon, but we didn't actually give her a bite of the yogurt.

We headed over to JoAnne's to look at sewing machines for Sara. We got out of the car and Ramona's chin was red within seconds the entire right side of her face was red and swelling. I immediately called the doctor's answering service. We headed to Cook's while we waiting for the doctor to call back. We weren't sure if we would have to go, but figured we might as well make our way there just in case. The swelling and redness went down while we were driving. Then the doctor called and told us to give her Benadryl and watch her.

It was terrifying. I am not sure exactly what caused it if it was the exposure to the chocolate yogurt or just incidental contact with something else. The doctor said that a blood test for allergies at this age would be inaccurate and a skin test would be too traumatic to do. I hope that she isn't allergic to anything that would be difficult to avoid. I am praying that it doesn't happen again or we find out what is causing it so we can avoid any future encounters.
