Well, i think we may have figured out what triggered the allergic reaction...Infant Motrin!!!! (Possibley in combination with the antibiotics) I gave her some this afternoon because her ear was hurting and she had a low fever. Within 15 min her eyes were swelling and she had bumps over her entire body. Poor baby!!! (here's a pic right when it first started)
We ran to the pharmacy (she was sitting in her carseat her eyes almost swollen shut eating crackers, happy as a clam) to get Benedryl like the Dr said, luckily it worked, (when we were walking around the store I know people were looking at me like i was crazy for bringing her there and not to the Dr. so I covered her head with a blanket) so we bought a balloon (she's earned it) and came home. Here are a few pics about 20 min after she took the medicine. The swelling is pretty much gone, but she's still a little bit red :( She's had a pretty tough week
Sweet dreams

The Dr said it might make her a little bit tired...she couldn't stand very well, or walk straight
Sweet dreamsHere are a few random pics I haven't had time to post this week.

Eric and Alaura waiting to pull Eric's "special cake" (for the Ward Valentines Day dance) out of the oven, they sat there almost the entire time!!! Before everyone got sick...

The poor thing. She looks miserable in those pics. Being sick is the pitts. Especially when you have to go to the doctor and he pokes and prodes you. Poor thing.
The whole hives things would be frightening!! That happened to Canyon once, and it was awful!! Luckily it hasn't happened again. I'm surprised it's the Motrin though. I prefer that over Tylenol for my kids.
You guys have had quite the adventure! What a good mommy you are (and Eric a good daddy too, of course). I hope Alaura feels like her normal self soon! And that you all start sleeping through the night again.
