Well, she was absolutely FINE this morning - NO FEVER AT ALL...normal temp....Her lines on the knee were still there and the redness hadn't spread, but the lines on her hand had completely gone away - who knows why??? But, the redness on her finger and knuckle had seemed to subside somewhat...
So into the doctors office we went. Got weighed (24.9 lbs - my BIG GIRL!!) and then talked with the nurse, played while we waited on the doctor, then talked with the doctor...He agreed that they were insect bites, but didn't think they were infected, just that she was having a mild reaction to them - and suggested that we put hydrocortisone cream on them a few times a day. Several times on the knee and then twice (if possible) on the hand - before nap and bedtime - times when she would be less likely to put her hands into her mouth and eat the medicine
However, in the routine check that ensued, he DID find that she has a dousey of an ear infection in her left ear. So it's a round of antibiotics for her, which will/should help in case the insect bite could have turned into an infection. WHEW!
At any rate, I'm glad that we caught all of this, because I can't imagine how much she would have hurt getting on a plane with an ear infection! OUCH!!
