Benadryl and Cortisone

Rachael had an allergic reaction to something yesterday. By the time she went to bed she was covered with a light sprinkling of bumps that resembled mosquito bites. Today, they covered her entire body, including her ears, hair, and belly button.

I'm thankful for Beandryl and Claratin to stop the reaction and Cortisone to stop the itch. She really didn't feel too bad, which is the one bright spot, but spent the day in an antihistamine-induced haze watching movies and eating popcorn.

Here's to hoping the hives clear up quickly.

Is she on ammoxicillin? That's what it does to my boys. Poor thing?
