A Mothers View: Becky

It was now September, Hollie was almost 10 months old, very active and into everything. She had even started taking odd steps on her own. One meal decided to try Hollie with egg, Hollie instantly went red and blotchy and started itching. I seemed to know instantly that Hollie was having an allergic reaction and whipped her through to the local dr, who advised to give her piriton and if she got no better within 20mins then take her to a&e. I was relieved and scared at the same time. We were on a routine visit to Dr Garg the week after so i mentioned this to her, she was fantastic, and immediately sent Hollie for blood tests for an allergic reaction. Tests came back positive to both egg white and egg yolk! Here we start the battle of an egg free diet, medication and immunization checks and regular dietician and hospital checks.we were referred back under the childrens hospital for Hollie to start skin prick tests :( but while we were waiting for that it would be hollies birthday! So i started to plan hollies first birthday party :)
