A Visit to the Doctor...

Hannah's bug bites when she got up yesterday morning were red, swollen, and hard. She now had one on her eyelid and her eye was really swollen. She felt fine enough to go to schoo, so I sent herl. But while she was at school, I called our Pediatrician's office to see if she should be seen, and if there was something that was stronger then Benedryl cream for the itch. They felt because she had one near her eye, she should be seen.

Dr Berry was concerned about the one on her eyelid. He said that because mosquitos carry so many different kinds of bacteria, he didn't want to take any chances with it so close to her eye, that he put her on antibiotics. He wasn't concerend about the rest of her bugs. Just said we needed to be putting on bug repelent that contains DEET.

Her eye looked a little better this morning. Still a little swollen, but better than yesterday. I'm sure it'll get better over the weekend. Good thing school pictures were next Thursday instead of yesterday!!!! LOL
