prayer request for my daughter Ciara

[sadinmichigan]

Hi everyone...i am at the hospital w/ my daughter Ciara, she has been really sick the past couple of days ,not sure yet what is going on. Sunday she had some strange things going on. Her face was very red ,swollen and her skin was burning...she had used my face stuff so I thought that she had a reaction to it. Anyway,we were out visiting friends and later in the evening it went away, well,yesterday she woke up w/ a fever really  sore throat. I have 6 kids so i don't normally run right to the dr.s  I waited to see ...and did all the normal things one would do for a sick kid. Well,this morning she woke up and was much sicker...I don't have a car during the day so I figured I would take her to the after hours pediatric clinic,which i did.   During the day her hands started swelling and they were bright red and itching so bad. The Dr. thinks she is having an allergic reaction of some kind on top of her being sick.....they gave her Benadryl and a steroid med.About an hour after,her face turned all red again and it was all down her neck and arms...even the inside of her ears were swelling, so,they admitted her to watch because they are worried about her throat swelling up more etc...they are thinking maybe this is from a spider bite and it just so happens that she has a cold too..ughhhh
This pediatric unit is so cool though,,[she can't stop playing around w/all the bed buttons..LOL they have these cool little interactive flat screen t.v's w/internet.man have hospitals come a long way..lol BUT it has taken me 40 min. to write this..lol..
I will let you all know how she is doing tomarrow. I am worried and hope it's nothing serious. Thankyou in advance for your prayers/good wishes...etc..  
love Lisa

Hi there~

Wow, what a scare!  I'm just now reading this or else I would have posted earlier.  I can imagine how frightened you were.  We love our children so much!  But glad she's safe at home now.

Geeze, internet in the hospital rooms?  No one can get bored now, huh?  I don't think our hospitals here have that yet, but when they do it'll make it a lot easier to care for my mom for hours at a time.

Did you back track on everything thing she ate?  Do the doctors think it's a food allergy or another kind of allergy?  Keep me posted.

Luv, Pamela

I neglected to enter a post regarding your daughter Clara. I must apologize for my seemingly disregard for you and her problem. I sincerely hope that all will be well with you both and that there will be no repeat of the problem. I am, as I have said before, not much of a praying man but my wishes are certainly with you both.

I'm sorry for all that you both have been going through.  I'm no doctor, but it sounds to me that the docs are spot on here...It sounds like an allergic reaction for sure.  

I hope she continues to improve, and that you both get some sleep!
