Bugsssss

Why oh why did I have to have a problem with bugs??? And more importantly why was it passed onto my daughter. I have always felt pretty sorry for myself, every time I go camping I would always end up with way more bites then anybody else. And now I have passed that on to my sweet daughter. We just don't do bites well. I had to take her into the doctor the other day for some bites. But it was so bizarre. I first noticed these 2 bites (on her forehead and back thigh) on Tuesday night. Wednesday they flared up pretty good but nothing some children allergy medicine couldn't handle. (OK to be honest I knew something wasn't right, but the meds seemed to take the swelling right down so we all went to bed). The next day she seemed fine so I went to work, Wonderful Aunt Malinda was doing crafts with the girls when I got the call that the bites had swelled back up. How bizarre, 3 days later and swelled up twice and gone back done. I called the doctor and was told she needed to come in right away. I knew she was fine, but better safe, right. So we held up the cm aping crew and headed to the doc. It went very fast and we made it out of town only a few minutes late. Basically she is allergic to bug bites and we need to drug her with benadryl every time we go out. That is not going to happen, we are out camping way to much and I will not have her in a haze the whole time. So we will keep a very watchful eye on her bug bites. This is just the one on her head
