Happy 11th Birthday Sissy!
My little girl is 11 today! I can't believe it's already been 11 yrs. It seems like just yesterday.She's had a rough 2 weeks. Last week we found out that she had staph on a teeny tiny insect bite on her shoulder that then turn into a HUGE sore. (I'll bare the details) We got her on an antibiotic but that particular one didn't work (of course) it seemed to grow in size after 2 days so I back to the Dr we go for the follow up. Change her antibiotic again. Paid a ridiculous amount (even with insurance) That seemed to fix the problem - Thank goodness!
Yesterday she wakes up covered in hives from head to toe. Yup, 6 days after taking the same antibiotic...that also worked by the way, breaks her into hives. It looks a lot worse today than yesterday. Poor thing I didn't want her to go to school today looking the way she does. Plus, to add to her misery - it's itchy!!!
Benadryl is not working people!!!!!
They also told me to use Zyrtec. Not sure if that's working either but we will try it. Help!!!! Any one know what else we can do to ease the pain??
So....today on her actual birthday she will be home from school with hives.
The nurse said it could last a week. Hang in there love bugs!
The nurse said it could last a week. Hang in there love bugs!
Friday is her shopping birthday party - maybe that will be the cure.
(pictures to come)
I heart you......
We love you Sissy!

She is a beautiful young girl. Happy Birthday!
She is beautiful! 11?? Can you believe it. I feel so sad for the pain she's gone through.....ok, I remember my mom giving me a bath in baking soda(for hives.itching). Also, Caladryl-for itching.I'll let you know if I think of anything else!
Aww, poor thing! I hope she feels better soon!
Happy Birthday!
Happy Birthday! Happy WW!

Oh, I feel for your girl...my neighbor's kid got hives from antibiotics coupled with stress. They itched and nothing seemed to work except the topical benadryl gel (it has a cooling agent in it...menthol perhaps?) and switching between cold and warm compresses. You may have her try to pat it when it itches instead of scratch it. Scratching it will probably just make it itch more. You can certainly try Caladryl or Calamine Lotion as it is a small investment, but it never seemed to work for the neighbor or for me when I get posion ivy. Eventually the neighbor kid had to get a steroid shot to make the hives go away.
Good luck and Happy Birthday to her. Although, I am sure she is miserable.
Oh, I'm so sorry she is having a rough go of it. Hopefully it won't last long!
wonderful pictures and such a beautiful young lady! Happy Birthday!
She is so beautiful, I hope she feels all better soon.
Happy Birthday!
Oh...at of all the times to be sick. I wish I knew of something that could help her. I wish she gets better soon and I'm wishing that she has a HAPPIER birthday.
Happy Birthday C! Hope she gets to feeling better real soon!
poor thing... i hope she gets better soon and especially in time for friday! happy birthday sissy!!
Oh she's beautiful! I hope she has a great birthday!
I remember taking a bath w/baking soda when I had the chicken pox. Aveeno has an oatmeal bath (or at least they used to have) that is really good. And definitely try Caladryl. It looks terrible, but works. Hope she feels better soon!
She is so pretty. Great pictures. Happy Birthday!
