I really don't think that is it our home is 13 yrs old and we don't have any close neighbors, we live out on a farm, but the reason I don't think that's it is mainly because no one else has had any issues with Karlee or at my home thats been around her except my son, me and my Mom. My husband and youngest son has no issues, my in laws and my neighbors that have been to my home has'nt had any reactions either and my Dad they all have been fine around her...I get my allergies from my Mom but she did not have any allergic hives breakout just had her eyes swell some and burning when they got here to visit. I really don't know what is happening or why now but my throat keeps swelling and has gotten to the point that it stays swollen most all the time but thankfully my allergy medicine keeps my throat from swelling shut so far I get so panicked especially at night worrying my throat will swell shut while I'm sleeping. I'm going to see my allergy specialist next month...that's the quickest I could get in and my son will be going next week while I'm there I'm going to speak with the specialist anyway about my situation too. I'm praying and hoping when I take my son we can find out some solution then or something to help prevent the hives and throat swelling that's the main thing. Being allergic is not too bad if it can be controlled so that's the main goal for us right now. Thank you all for your comments and I know it sounds complete crazy that it would be Karlee we are also going to see my parents at their home next weekend for my Dad's birthday so hopefully we can see if our allergies still act up by not being around Karlee that is the only way we can know for sure when we get back home we are going to have Karlee stay with our sitter a close family member, for a couple more days to see how we react at home too this way we will know if its something in our home then go get Karlee I can only go 4 days without her because I know we'll miss her so much but maybe that will be long enough to at least give us some answers to if we are or not allergic to something with our little Karlee.
