Gabi's eye is now nice and swollen. I of course called the pediatricians office because I have never seen anything like this and was reassured that kids get back reactions to bites and that I can give her some allergy meds (went to the store and bought Clariton, even though I wanted to get benadryl, but they didn't have any for kids at Fred Meyers) an ice pack and some hydrocortosone cream. It isn't bothering her at all and she is the same happy little girls that she has always been. Unfortunately, she has a giant swollen eye because of a bug bite!
Here are some more pictures of the girls from this weekend...they're a little more attractive then the previous one!
A bit of a Sophia update...she is doing well. We obviously won't know much more until we go see Dr. Wellman in July. I have still been looking for an automatic children's blood pressure cuff or machine so that I can take her blood pressure here at home. I think that would help decrease a lot of my anxiety. I have tried to take her pressure with the manual cuff that I have, but with her talking and wiggling...it's a little hard, automatic would be so much easier. Unfortunately it doesn't appear anyone thinks to make automatic cuffs that are available for purchase.

Have you tried to get a regular monitor and get a pediatric cuff? I know the ones that I've used at work have a monitor that you can change out the cuffs. I'll let you know if I see anything.

I am willing to use one of those too, but I can't even find a place that will sell a peds cuff.
