Our Thanksgiving Report -- It was ERrrrific!

We spent Thanksgving in Virginia with family. Parker had his first Grandpa King butterhorn roll and LOVED it! (But really, who doesn't?)




It, however, did not love him. We figure it was a reaction to the eggs. His face was totally swollen and he had hives everywhere. The picture below was before we took him to the hospital and it got worse by the time we were there.


Jamie and I took Parker to the ER while everyone else (we were with Jamie's parents and older brother and his family) sat down for Thanksgiving dinner. Thank goodness for family, we could just leave Jacob and go. At the hospital, they gave Parker a little more Benadryl and a steroid shot and we waited a lot. Then we waited some more. So we spent 4 hours in the ER on Thanksgiving night, while the turkey got cold.

This is after we got home and he started to look a little more like himself, but still sad and a little pathetic.


Parker was a trooper through the whole thing. He was happy to hang out with Grandpa.
