It seems Caylea always has something going on

Caylea and I sat down to work on her school this morning and while I was checking her speed drill sheet I noticed she was itching her hand. I looked at it and then noticed she had hives all over her arm and the top of her hand. I checked everywhere else on her and the only other place I saw a few was her ankles. I went in the kitchen and got her some zyrtec and watched her for a bit. The hives started going away pretty quickly within 20 minutes or so. The red rash seemed to stay and spread a little more over the next hour or so. By two hours after the zyrtec it was gone without a trace. I can not figure out what it could be from. I e-mailed the Ped. to make sure it couldn't be the new inhalers he gave us. He said no that shouldn't be it and as long as it doesn't effect her air way to continue the zyrtec as needed. It if continues we need to of course figure out what is causing it. He did say it could be a viral thing he has seen. Weird I have never heard of viral hives.

It kinda freaked me out for a minute I had to think about everything she could of possibly ate this morning (it was only oatmeal). . .because the only other time she had hives was when she has her anaphylactic reaction and we ended up in the ER. This is what she looked like after that reaction (and thankfully the med's) . . .obviously hives were not her only issue that day.







Anyways here are a few pic's I took after the hives were basically gone but the rash was still there. ( I took them to e-mail our Ped. He is amazing - most of my ?'s get answered thru e-mail whether it is a written question, a picture or video) . . .
