Allergy Attack

We went to lunch with our friend Lindsey today at The Corner Bakery at the Fashion Place Mall. Kira ordered a sandwich that had pesto sauce in it. She didn't realize there was pesto sauce when she ordered it. She is allergic to Pine nuts and the pesto sauce was made out of pine nuts. She can go into anaphalactic shock when she has pine nuts, so as soon as she felt an allergy attack coming she knew she only had about half an hour before it could get bad. She took off to Walgreens to grab some medications with Lindsey and we had my brother call in a prescription for an epi-pen because we didn't have hers with us. I stayed back at the restaurant to watch Mason and Adlee, and get them in the car since they would take too long. Fortunately, it didn't get bad enough to make her stop breathing or go into anaphalactic shock or have to use the epi-pen, and she got some benadryl soon enough to keep it from getting too bad but even now, 9 hours later, she still isn't feeling too well. The restaurant did give a free sandwich that didn't have pesto sauce afterward. I guess if you want a free take out sandwich, have an allergy attack with the first one. This was Kira's first allergy attack since we met. Her last one was in Spain years ago. Thanks Lindsey for running her to Walgreens.
