Turns out, Peregrine inherited my penicillin allergy. We discovered this by the rapid onset hives, swollen inflamed joints, and pinpoint rash he developed after a couple days being on amoxacillan for strep throat. The docs who saw him had been doing this for a long time and had never before seen the response in someone so little.
He's fine, of course; Sky got him in to see someone when the first hives showed up, but it doesn't stop us from worrying!
Somewhere I have a bunch of pictures from the last month but I just haven't managed to upload them yet. Sorry.
Bummer for the Pip. That's three generations of penicillin allergy now.
