Poor Joe :(
Joe has been under the weather for the past few days. He came home from work on Monday with very itchy skin and developed a swollen upper lip as the evening went on. Come Tuesday morning his hands, feet and upper lip were all swollen and he had red itchy blotches all over his body. He went to the doctor immediately that morning to have them determine it was an allergic reaction to something he ate. They started him on a steroid for five days to help with the reaction. The only thing new he ate on Monday was some boxed raspberry cookies so he is unsure what caused this reaction. He ended up staying home from work on Tuesday because he developed hives the size of quarters and his feet were quite swollen and swore. The girls and I enjoyed having him home but we tried to leave him alone to rest most of the day. Today he was feeling better but still not great and went to work. His feet were better, hands still a bit sore and the hives were coming and going but still very itchy. His bottom lip swelled a bit but nothing extreme. Hopefully the reaction is almost over. I know he is uncomfortable and ready for it to be over.
