Madeleine + Eggs = Issues

So I discovered this morning that Miss Moo has an egg allergy. She's eaten them before, but something changed with breakfast. She had one little bite and immediately started scratching at her ears and eyes. She took another little bite and started scratching all over her face and head. And by the third little bite, I decided that something was going on and took breakfast away. In the amount of time it took me to carry her high chair tray to the sink, this is what happened:
Everywhere she had touched the egg to her face had turned into a big, red welt. I called the nurse line at our pediatrician, who said it sounded like just a mild allergic reaction and (of course) to not give her anymore eggs. The welts lasted about an hour, but she still has a little inflamed spot under an eye where she rubbed the most. Poor Moodle!
