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.

Spider bites = the suck! Glad you caught it quickly and got it treated.

I'm glad to hear she'll be okay.

My best wishes to your daughter. I am glad she is doing as well as she is. How is she taking all this?

I am glad she is okay! I had a boss once who would get the worst allergic reaction to spider bites. The swelling was crazy!

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!

Best wishes to her and to you all!

I got bit by a spider once (I didn't see what bit me and I thought it was a mosquito) but later that night my whole arm swelled up and had fever in it, but within 24 it had eased up, so just tell the little princess that now she has this really cool story because not everybody gets bit by spiders. Glad she is okay.
