Spider Bite?

I was really worried because she said that her arm felt shaky like it was nervous and later on she said that her hand felt like it was asleep. Last night the spot was red like she had just been bit and it hurt to rub your finger gently over it. Today the redness was gone but it was really tender to touch.

She had something similiar to this a while back on her leg and we really kept watch on it. What ever it is she sure has a reaction to it. Last time she had it she didn't feel well for a couple of days and today was the same way.

I think that I'm going to have my husband spray the whole house, not that we're buggy but just to get rid of what ever it is.

I just read your post...How is your daughter doing today? I think I remember you posting about her leg..(you did right?) Have you ever had her tested for allergies? Maybe she is allergic to something that keeps biting her...My heart goes out to you...I hate it when my kids get sick...My girls are older but I still worry about them a much, if not more, than I did when they were little.....I hope she feels better soon.

Thanks for asking about Jaci. It's taken a few days but she's finally feeling better. I just had her keep taking the ibuphrophen all weekend until her arm quit aching. She's been complaining about 7:00 each evening about how tired she is and so I think that she's still not quite over it. I didn't send her to school on Friday, but I think that she's ready to go back tomorrow. She really had me worried with her hand tingling and then going numb and then having a bad headache. I'm just glad that she's better.

I am glad your daughter is doing much better. Having allergies checked is a great idea. You just never for sure what they are allergic to until something happens. Is she ready to to back to school?

Health wise she's much, much better, but she's NEVER ready to go back to school!! My kids have always dreaded going to school because Mom is always home and Dad, being a farmer, is usually around a lot and there was always something going on that the kids loved to be involved in.
