Not the Update I Was Hoping For...

I have come to two conclusions.  First - we are not meant to have family pictures taken. (we were suppose to have them on Saturday) Second - Emma may not get sick very often, but when she does, she feels the need to be different and unusual!

Emma continued with her Hives all day yesterday.  When she woke up this morning, she had more on her arms, face, and diaper area; plus her ear was swollen.  So back to the doctor we went.  By the time we got to the Doctor, her ear was still swollen, and more had popped up on her face and back.  Even after she had a dose of her steroids and Benadryl!   After a lengthy examination, and getting another doctor to look at her, we are still thinking these are hives, they just not acting like we would expect them to.  So we are trying another medication, Zyrtec, on top of the Steroids and Benadryl.  As long as she continues to not run a fever, eyes swell up, or she has difficulty breathing we don't need to go back in.  If she still looks like she does now on Saturday, we will need to go in and be seen again.
We will have to wait and see what the next couple of days bring!
