Caroline's BooBoo Update

We saw her Doctor.

Looks like a spider bite (two puncture wounds) so we are giving her Benadryl to counteract the reaction and we'll see where we are tomorrow. It hasn't gotten any worse than it was this morning so that is a good sign.

Thanks for all your good thoughts. I appreciate them.

I am grateful that this is no more than it is.

Poor sweetie. Hugs to you all!

I should have read the rest of my FL before posting to the last post. Oops!

I'm glad she's feeling better. Benadryl is great stuff, except it knocks ya flat for a few hours. The topical stuff will work on the itchies. You can also find a topical cream with lidocaine in it, and that really kills the itchies. Good luck!

She did take a mega-nap but her hand is looking so much better than it was even earlier this afternoon. She can move all her fingers pretty normally now.
