2nd time in 2 or 3 months that Maria was attacked in her bed by insects. Last time it was the ants, this time we don’t know what it was. Her left elbow had about 15 bites, but nothing anywhere else. She seemed happy this morning, ate well, drank fast. Shortly before school she was squinting her left eye, so I gave her Tylenol and she immediately tried to fall asleep, which is what she usually does when in pain. I searched her bed and found nothing. Looked up bug bites on WebMD and found that they’re recalling some infant Tylenol–you know, what I gave her this morning.
The nurse called me at 12:30pm, said the bites were worse and felt warm. Called the doc for an appt (3 minutes after they closed for a 90-min lunch), they got us in at 4:40pm. I called the nurse to see if I should come get her, but she said Maria was asleep, so we left her in school until Andy picked her up.
The doc was totally perplexed about the bites, said to come back if anything gets worse. Gave us cream for her yeast infection (which I thought was diaper rash). And she got a flu shot (and really jumped which is good/bad. Good because she felt it and bad because she felt it.).
She was really tired tonight, went right to sleep, but now I’m nervous about her being alone in her bed. (And just now she woke up thrashing, I changed her diaper and checked her bed. Nothing.) As soon as Manolis gets back, I’m going to have him build her a bubble so nothing bad will ever happen to her…no insect attacks, no flying pig flu…
