Kaylin + Hives


Kaylin had an interesting weekend. Thursday night a bottle of spray bleach was left on our bathroom counter. She decided to clean the mirror with it and because it smelled so bad, she'd spray Glade on top of that, all over the bathroom. The next day she woke up with 2 spots on her face. She went to school. The teacher noticed this and then noticed as well that there were about 20 spots by lunchtime and sent her to the nurse. I told her what had happened the night before and was sure this was the cause. After researching hives, we figured it was a fragrance reaction, figuring the bleach would have burned her instead of just itched. 
We had a full day of fun planned Saturday so we got her a hat and went on our way. She was such a trooper. We had her come to church too, thinking all was fine, but by the 3rd hour her eye started swelling so I took her home.




Unfortunately they didn't go away with all my oatmeal bath, benedryl and topical treatments, so we had to take her into the Dr on Monday. She has to take some steroids for 5 days. :( The Dr thought it was a fragrance reaction and also Poison Ivy. Poor thing.
She's back to school today and I hope no one was mean about her spots, at least they are swelling anymore!
