After church we headed over to Mimi and Pop's for lunch. This is my very favorite meal of the whole year! Sadly, I didn't even get to take a bite of the plate I was making. But worse than that was why.....
Gracyn kept telling me that she didn't like Mimi's candy. I told her that there wasn't any candy on her plate and to just eat her lunch. But, then it clicked with me. I started asking her what candy she ate and where she got it. Turns out, she ate a Butterfinger candy--not good for this little girl with a peanut allergy. Wouldn't you know it, we left her Epi-pen at home and Drew and I thought we should get her home--close to her Epi-pen and a hospital if need be. But, she started throwing up on the way home and more when we got home and I knew we were in the clear. Not exactly how I wanted to spend Christmas day, but just so thankful that my baby is okay! (And it also answered my question if she'd grown out of her allergy yet...)
