Any Doctor's Out There...

A few weeks ago after one of Al's famous Sunday dinner's of pot roast, mash potatoes and homemade gravy Dustin's lip started tingling. I come out of the kitchen from helping Kathy with dishes and Dustin says "is there anything about me that looks different." I couldn't see anything from far away so I got up close and it looked like his lip was swelling. I thought, oh funny Dustin, and I grabbed his lip and yanked it around searching for what I thought would be a grape or something. Turns out, Dustin's allergic to something:

Crazy huh! Dustin thought it might be oatmeal, I thought it was Pepcid AC. (I know, far-fetched) but I could have sworn every time he had heart burn and took the medicine his lip would swell up. Alas, still don't know what it is. He hasn't had it happen lately but for a week his lip was swelling up on every side top and bottom. The only thing that helped tame it down was some Benadryl. So, to all of you doctor's out there, what's your diagnosis? Any ideas?

Man, that sucks.

Reminded me of when Alissa found out she was allergic to mangos, but she kept eating them anyway cause she said she liked them so much. Remember that? Good times.
