Just waiting for Robbie to get home from work, getting ready to eat some white chicken chili.  It is without a doubt one of my favorite foods.  Sadly, it is also a food that made Addison look like Hitch.  We knew she was very allergic to walnuts, but there is something in white chicken chili that she is very allergic to as well.  Think: eye swelling shut, hundreds of hives and bright red rash all over her body and face.
Luckily there is a fantastic pediatric allergist that comes out from Wilshire Blvd to Lancaster,  shocking I know! but there is and he is the one who tested her before.  We will go again this week and get her further tested.  Last time we went, she reacted so strongly to the walnut, he had to quit immediately and not test her further.  This time we will leave walnut out and she'll be tested for 24 different possibilities.  When I thought it was just tree nuts, I wasn't super scared because those are pretty easy to avoid.  But now that she had that drastic reaction to the chicken chili, we definitely need answers.  When your kid is fine one minute and the next she looks like Hitch, it's time to do some testing.  for sure.
