You should see the other guy!On the last night of our annual Fourth of July trip to Michigan, Quinn got bit by some nasty mosquitoes! Yep, that's all they were. Mosquitoes. You can't tell, but her left hand is as swollen as her eye was! She looked like she'd been through a war!
Quinn always has a more severe reaction to mosquito bites than normal. Nothing to be terribly concerned about, but enough to feel bad for her. Well, this was the worst reaction ever. When she woke up Tuesday morning as we were packing to leave for the airport, I noticed her eye and her hand. We figured it would just go down on it's own as the day went on, and we were right... until halfway through the day, on the plane we noticed she was rubbing eye more than she had been all day. We got her home, gave her some Benadryl and put her to bed. Well, she woke up Wednesday morning and the poor kid couldn't even open her eye it was so swollen! The picture I took up top there? It didn't hold a candle to the following morning's puffiness! So I ended up taking her to the doctor just to make sure everything was ok. And it was - Dr. Potter didn't even prescribe any medication, just told us to keep her on the Benadryl regimen until the swelling went away. So I brought her to daycare and by the time I picked her up that afternoon, she looked SO much more like herself! By Thursday she was back to normal.
Oh, by the way, the rest of the trip was great! But I'll save that for another post.
