After a trip to the doctor's office to confirm they were, in fact, "just" hives, she was diagnosed as allergic to penicillin. Her ears looked much better so she's off of the amoxicillin, and we're now just waiting for the hives to subside. Thankfully she hasn't exhibited any signs of physical suffering (itching, trouble sleeping...), and they certainly aren't keeping her from going about her normal crazed-toddler days.
For instance, she interrupted this blog post-drafting to scream at me to please unzip her play purse. And then zip it. And then unzip it. And then zip it. Rinse and repeat.
She's also quite helpful to clean up her spills as she makes them. Almost instantaneously, in fact. You might even think she spilled on purpose :)
This morning, on Day 2 of Attack Of The Hives, her eyes were quite puffy and swollen, and she still had spots all along her legs. I hope they work their way out of her system quickly or we might have Sloth on our hands by Wednesday morning.
Oscar seems quite concerned about whether these "hive" things are contagious - so much so that he has been barking ALL DAY out of concern. Nonstop. I might have started barking along with him at one point. We even ran out of bitter apple spray.
But anyway, back to the poor human child with hives. She's on post-nap round 2 of "spill for fun and clean it up" so it appears she will persevere! Although I must admit seeing her splotchy little face is heartbreaking and I hope it is all resolved very soon :(

I like the new page header.
Hope B is feeling better soon and O stops barking.
I am enthralled with the idea that Oscar was barking out of concern.
Poor kiddo. I hope she is feeling better.
And Meg spills stuff for "fun" too.
Welcome back to blogging! You were missed!
I am making up a new word for these pictures: Sadorable. That poor kid! She is so cute, though, even puffed up.
