''Looks like your daughter has just had an allergic reaction'' he said ''When did this happen?''. ''Today when we were just having lunch together'' Lucy replied ''we were eating peanut butter and honey sandwiches and when Margo took her first bite of her sandwich, she just coughed and threw up as well as what you can see here''.
''Then she must have an allergy to nuts'' the doctor said thoughtfully. ''I'll give her some special medicine called adrenaline to help make her better in the meantime''. Once Margo had taken the adrenaline, she found she felt much better.
''But however'' the doctor continued ''I would suggest taking her to see an allergist for a skin prick test to find out if she's allergic to any more kind of nuts or anything else and she may also be needing one of these things''.
He showed Dru, Lucy and Margo a strange small thing which he called an Epi Pen. ''Well, thank you doctor'' Dru said ''But what does dat do?''. ''It's like an injection, but it goes in your leg instead of your arm unlike a normal injection'' the doctor explained ''whenever Margo has an allergic reaction, make her sit or lie down.
Hold firmly with orange tip pointing downward. Do not put any part of your hand over either end to avoid an accidental trigger. An EpiPen is a single-use device; once it is triggered it cannot be re-used. Do not put any part of your hand over either end to avoid an accidental trigger.

Next you inject the needle into Margo's outer thigh Place the orange tip against the thigh and push firmly. There should be a click once the needle has entered the thigh. Hold for about several seconds. Do not inject in any other place than the thigh. Accidental intravenous injections of adrenaline can lead to death.
Then lastly you remove the EpiPen Remove the unit and massage the injection area for 10 seconds. Check the tip. The orange needle cover should automatically cover the injection needle once the EpiPen is removed from the thigh''.
While Edith and Agnes were playing at home, Gru heard the doorbell ring. Margo had come back with Dru and Lucy from the hospital! Edith, Agnes and Gru saw that Margo looked exactly how she had been before the whole thing happened.
