HIVES?!?!

Poor Berkley has what we think might be hives...it all started when we arrived in Denver to see shelley and sweet little winston.  i took berkley out of her carseat got her inside and noticed she was covered in what i thought at the time was bug bites.  there were tons of little small round mosquito looking bites on the back and sides of her legs.  the whole area was extremely red.  i then realized it was on the other leg as well and that there were other areas that looked like welts.  i was pretty concerned but she didn't seem to be bothered at all other than scratching the areas.  i put hydro-cortisone cream on it.

then when we got home from denver i was checking her out and it seemed to have gotten worse.  it had spread to her butt checks.  i called the triage RN and up to peds where i worked and spoke with a nurse practitioner and pediatrician.  they were pretty puzzled and recommended an oatmeal cool bath.  we did just that and it seemed to get a little better.  through the night we continuously went in to check on her and noticed the spots were coming and going and popping up in different areas...always on the legs though.

this morning when she woke up her legs looked totally fine.  she was her sweet normal self! :)  well...i was at work this afternoon and chris sent me a pic of berkley...she had just woke up from her nap and it was BACK.  but now it was on her right upper arm and right cheek...both of which she had laid on during her nap...i called back two hours later and chris said the spots were GONE!! ????  we are so puzzled as to what is going on.

the only thing i can think of that it might be is fresh fruit salad she has had quite a bit lately with grapes, blueberries, apples and cantaloupe.  i'm so curious what is going on...

we have some pics i will upload soon. 

during all of this she has remained her sweet, cuddly, silly self! :)  please say an extra little prayer for her! :)
