Update on my Honey Bunches of ALLERGIES?!?!

Brian finally got to come home Monday afternoon from the hospital. He was sent home with 3 days worth of steriods and has been taking those. He has been having shortness of breath and a pounding heart which we think that is from the steriods. However the Dr. said he could have developed chemical induced asthma or tiny blood clots in his lungs from the reaction. We really won't know until 3 days after been off of the steriods. We had another scare last night when after drinking an RC Cola his throat started to swell again. We went back to the E.R. and after another chest x-ray the Dr. said his throat was beginning to swell again. He also told Brian that sulfur is in sooo many things. Asprin, lots of food, drinks (Benzoic Acid, found in some soft drinks), MSG's, perservatives and even water! The list is endless!!! He told Brian he would have to get used to this and to take Benadryl with him every where he goes. This is a scary feeling and Brian has been very scared to eat and drink. Those of you who know Brian know that he is already very thin and doesn't ever need to refrain from eating! Brian has been doing lots of research and finding out more and more about his allergy to sulfur. If you have an allergy to sulfur or anything else, you may want to do research as well. Even Brian as a nurse didn't realize all of the things that sulfur is in. I hope things are on the up and up for Brian and his allergic reaction. His face is swollen and red from all of the steriods but other than that he is doing better. Thanks for all the prayers and concerns! Take care everyone and watch out for allergies to drugs, they sure can be dangerous!
