Hi,
One of my mindees(6yr old) had a strange allergic reaction today 10 minutes before mum was due to arrive...one of her eyes went red and had a few hive like spots around it I checked for anything obviously in her eye then made her wash her hands just to make sure she wasn't rubbing any allergens into the eye. By this time mum had arrived and then she administered some anti hystimines. Mum stayed for a while as we both wanted to make sure she was ok before she went home and the eye went down quite quickly after that thank goodness!!!!!
It was a bit of a strange one though,we do have pets(which would be the most obvious allergy) but I have had the child in question since feb and she had also been here since early this morning so strange for her eye to just swell up like that at the end of the day.
Now my worries are :
A: I have not documented this not sure if i have to or what or where to put it?
B: Mum carries an epi pen for HER allergies and that is the first time the child has ever had a reaction. So I am dealing with an unknown on how bad or what mindees allergies are going to be.:panic:
What would you do?????
