Back in August we started to suspect that Sammy had a shellfish allergy. We were in Galveston and had eaten at a seafood restaurant on the seawall. Mike gave Sammy several bites of snow crab, which he loved. However, that night he woke up from a dead sleep throwing up. He ended up throwing up several times that night, and that's when I decided that he had a shellfish allergy. Understand that this was not the first time Sammy had thrown up after eating shrimp or shellfish - this was just the first time I started to put the pieces together.
Since then, we've refrained from giving Sammy any type of shellfish. However, last night when we ate at Red Lobster, Mike and I decided to give him a few bites of king crab. He had about two bites. He went to bed at 10 pm (a bit late, to be honest).
Sure enough, Sammy woke up at midnight, having thrown up. Shellfish allergy confirmed. Super fun night, by the way . . . as was laundry the next day.
