We havent seen Dave for a while ? .. Hope you are ok if you are reading
Hi guys ..thanks for thinking of me.
I'm ok, but have had a shitty couple weeks. Got given notice at work week before last completely out of the blue which is a real downer as I'd only been there 6 months and it fitted in well with school etc.
Then last night took the kids out T or T'ing and my 7 year old son who is highly peanut allergic accidentally ate an M&M that some genius had decided to empty into their bowl for random kids to take. DS thought it was a Skittle - he's quite savvy about his allergy.
He went into anaphylactic shock..very fortunately we were on our road in a bit group of kids and adults at the time, and so OH rushed him home and gave him his Epipen (we've never had to use it before).
Thank god we were close by as when I made it back to the house (also had my DD and another child with me), DS's lips were blue and swollen..it was very scary.
Called 999 and he was taken to hospital. He is fine, down to administering the adrenaline quickly and correctly (well done OH), but they had to keep him in for 6 hours observation to check no secondary reaction to the adrenaline.
So all in all not a great evening..they didn't get back till 2am so I have kept him off school today as he was exhausted.
Could have been worse...I just can't think why anyone with half a brain would put loose, peanutty sweets out for random kids to take..it could kill someone.
Sigh....anyway hope you are all well..liking the pictures and will read back a bit now.
