Allergic?

Nicholas broke out in hives the other night. He was one big, red rash. He looked pretty scary. I took him into the doctor because they weren't going away(and he hadn't eaten anything that he was allergic to). The doctor said that he was allergic....to himself. He had had a virus the week before and was now having an allergic reaction to the antibodies that he had created to fight the virus. He is completely fine, we just keep him drugged up to keep the itching at a minimum. Until the antibodies go away, he will just have to be allergic to himself!!
