Just in case the swarms of mosquitoes in WI aren't giving us enough to scratch about, I'll throw in a little post about hives to boot!
Little Happy woke up the other day looking like this....
Poor thing. And they got worse before they got better. I asked a friend who happened to stop by if she knew anything about hives. She asked if Erin had eaten Hamburger Helper. She explained that when her son had hives the doctor asked her that same question. Turns out it's a routine question asked in the doctor's office when a child has hives! Who knew?! Evidently, something in Hamburger Helper triggers hives in some kids. Well, Erin did not eat HH, so I cannot blame it on that. Like most cases of hives, we have no idea what caused them. They were completely gone the next morning, thankfully!
Speaking of Erin, I have a great update: Since she has been wearing an eye patch two hours per day, her eye has almost completely stopped turning out! This means that it is possible for her to avoid eye surgery (at least for the near future)! That makes me very happy indeed : ).
