Little Red Spots

So today was starting out wonderful. Got up, got laundry going, got Hunter off to school...while doing the breakfast dishes, I hear, "Mo-oom, look what Kiki's doing". And, CRASH< style="font-style: italic;">Good morning mom, any hallucinations that you may have had about this being a wonderful day are officially brought to light, and the truth will now set you free....Kiki is "curious George" today!

We then then head down to UCLA for Kirsten's "pre-op" with the anesthesiologist's office...only I notice Kiki's covered from her head to her mid-line with little tiny red bumps. She's allergic to something!! Of course I'm stressing because this is the final appointment that says yea or nay to the surgery. Where's my benadryl when I need it? We get through the appointment just fine, explaining that she got into something she shouldn't have and given her high allergy to gluten and casein it could be anything she ate that I didn't see her sneaking....all the while, I'm thinking "I .hope that's it" . Sounded good! Right?

So we get home to pick up the rest of the kids, I'm in the kitchen making dinner when Quincy notices that Gracey is broken out and needs benadryl now too. Now I'm scrambling trying to think of everything....sun block, bug spray from the yard, a snack I didn't see....I'm wiggin' out a little bit. So I give them both their dose, and decide to check everyone else out just in case, all the while praying it's not a virus!! The twins have a mild break out on their bellies too. Break out the benadryl once again. Then I notice, it's on Quincy's back too!!! So he's now medicated and I am officially stressed.

After hours of searching for answers and checking for fevers or any other signs of illness, I finally found the cause!!! The taco seasoning, which we always use, is normally diluted before we eat it so it doesn't bother us...BUT in pure form in the air without any buffer like water....their bodies can't handle it!!! It's foreign in that form. Weird I know, but honestly, that was it! THANK GOD!!! I don't think I could hand;e one more thing this week!
