Mosquito

There are about 3,500 species of mosquitoes found throughout the world. In some species of mosquito, the females feed on humans, and are therefore vectors for a number of infectious diseases affecting millions of people per year.

One of these got mt sweet girl on Saturday! Oh how much I dislike you mosquito!

By Monday her eye was swollen shut and she was diagnosed with Periorbital Cellulitis.

By Wednesday we were all at our end- still no sign of healing, high fever, very cranky, and a very bruised and red eye. The only positive was no swelling. This resulted in a shot.

Today, eye looks better but not great. NO FEVER-that's a plus! Still very cranky and now refuses to walk because her leg is so sore from the shot. Not sure what all today has in store for us. The doctor will be calling sometime this morning to decide if they need to do blood work and look for something else and possible staph. Crossing my fingers that since she does not have a fever then we will be able to avoid anymore testing. At the same time though, I want my sweet, happy girl back. Not this child. Send prayers up that she is back to herself soon!!!
