Mysterious Bite

Last night Caroline came to me because her hand hurt. It looked like she jammed her finger and I had her dip it in cool water and gave her some pain meds. This morning her whole left hand is swollen and I can now see a puncture wound just below the lower joint of her finger. So this morning is going to be about a visit to the Doctor to find out what we need to do for her.

More as I know more.

I am grateful that Caroline showed me her hand last night so I have a better idea when it happened.Bite

If it's swollen, it sounds like she's either having an allergic reaction to whatever bit/stung her or it's poisonous. Hope she's all right - do keep us posted.

She is doing fine. The Benadryl had taken her to nappy land but I think she needed the nap a lot.

It does look like a spider bite.
