Phillips hospital stay June 2006

During your stay we found out that you were allergic to red dye. I never let you have anything with red dye in it because I didn't want it to stain the carpet or your clothes, silly me. Almost all the medicine that the nurses had given you had red dye in it. Thanks to Michelle, we were able to figure out that the benedryl had red dye in it too. It was the one medication that they continued to give you after they found out you were allergic to red dye. They didn't think that it had red dye in it because it was purple. After we had all your medication changed to dye free and all your meals changed so you didn't have red dye in your juice or jello, your rash went away and you stopped vomiting. You can see how pale you look in the pictures below.
