So we're going to a class on Wednesday nights at a church in town, not the church we normally attend. The first night I talked to the person in charge of Caris' age group to let them know she is allergic to nuts, and they assured me that they were already a peanut-free zone. Awesome!Last week Alif picked her up after class and when we met up, he told me that there had been a peanut "incident". Apparently her age group had done a craft including peanuts, and Caris saw the peanuts and asked her leader if they were real. When she was told that they were real, she left the craft room and went back to her own room. Her face was broken out a bit but nothing terrible.
Well. Yesterday she woke up with hives all over her tummy and back, and the rest of her body was so extremely broken out. I asked her again to tell me the whole story and come to find out, the kids had brought their peanut crafts back to the classroom with them. So. My peanut-allergic daughter was breathing in peanuts for a good portion of the class.
Today I noticed that a couple of the open sores had (cover your eyes if you're squeamish) pus in them. As the day went by, more and more little blisters were popping up with pus inside. Off to the urgent care, where they said she was infected (really? LOL) and tested her for MRSA and put her on oral and topical antibiotics.
Oh Lord please, please, please heal my precious daughter. PLEASE.
how in the world did the lady not realize that doing crafts w/ peanuts would be bad for the peanut allergy child??? I pray she heals quickly!
ReplyDeleteOh Emily. I'm praying for Caris' quick recovery. Please let this not be MRSA. xo
ReplyDeleteOh, my gosh, that's horrible!! I will pray Caris heals very quickly. Who makes crafts out of PEANUTS, anyway??!!
ReplyDeleteoh poor thing! i will be praying she heals up really quickly!
ReplyDeletei'm so sorry. i think peanuts and peanut butter should be outlawed in all kids nurseries and classrooms because SOOOO many kids are deathly allergic. seriously!
ReplyDeleteIt seems like more of an explanation is needed. I bet most only think that if she eats them, she'll have a re-action.If it's not their own child, they aren't going to pay that much attention either. I'm so sorry that happened to her, and will keep her in my prayers!! ♥
ReplyDeleteOh Emiles how frustrating and saddening! I hope all the sores heal quickly. Poor Caris!!
ReplyDeleteI pray she heals quickly. Although they can't fix what has happened I hope they offer an apology and explaination.
ReplyDeleteOur Best friends where we used to live had a son with a terrible peanut allergy like that! He couldnt even be near them. Problem was, he LOVED peanuts! But if you even touched him and had touched peanuts, he would break out immediately. I had an Epi-pen at my house just in case. They had a couple of incidens at church too. One was right after Halloween and they had peanutbutter candies in the nursury room.
ReplyDeleteI pray she heals up fast. And you shoudl probably let the class know she can't even be near them! But yeah, i have never heard of a peanut craft!
Oh my gosh! That is FAST for them to get infected. wow. I'll be praying for her QUICK healing!
ReplyDeletePoor poor girl!! This sounds just AWFUL. I hope she is doing so much better by now, and that neither you nor her will have to go through something like this again!
ReplyDeleteOh no! I have learned that if we eat anything with peanuts, we need to wash our hands before going near our peanut allergy friends. The workers should have been taught that. I hope they will learn after this! Praying she heals quickly.
