GUESS WHAT! I had to go to the Emergency Room last night! Because I'm deadly allergic to peanuts, and anything that contains them. Well, my Grandma gave us some cookies she got from a cookie party, and well, you know how they make those peanut butter chips now? Well, I thought they were butterscotch chips. So I ate one........ My throat started feeling like it was closing up, my tongue started burning, and the roof of my mout started tingling, I went up stairs and swished some toothpaste around in my mouth. When I was done I went to the kitchen and looked in the medicine cabinent to look for the benydril(sp?) but it wasn't there. SO I called my mom, apparently it was in her purse, in her car. She told me to take some clariten, so I did. When she got home I took two benydril(sp?). I started getting better, after about an hour or so she had to go pick up my older sister from SO (Science Olympiad). She left my other older sister in charge, and told her to start dinner. She did. I told her I was going to take a bath, cause I was starting to feel sick again. Well, when I came down my mom was back, she said I looked more red then a tomato, I didn't even want to see. Then my head started to feel like it was on fire, and my mom said I was clawing at my head, I thought I was just barely scratching it. My step dad told me to sit down, and he grabbed my epi-pen. I've never had a reaction so bad we had to use the epi-pen, but hey, the last reaction I had was when I was 2, and that was 10 years ago. I can't remember much after that....... well, I remember my mom taking me to the hospital, and getting an I.V in my arm, and I also rember telling her how my friends are gonna laugh when they hear what happened, because we all gave each other nicknames, and their nicknames are Kirby (cause that's her last name), Roadrunner (because her last name is Rhodes), and Big Mac, (Because that was the only one we could think of because her name's Macenzie). Can you guess what mine is? ER (beucause, those are my initals.) My mom laughed. Then I remember leaving the Hospital, my skin was apparently as white as snow, but the doctor said that that was a good thing compared to how I was when I arrived, in the car my mom told me I had earned a day off of school, I wish I hadn't, cause I'm really bored right now. She also told me we had been there for two hours, it didn't seem that long to me. So yeah................................
