My Son VS. Mosquito


Mosquito Won.



Poor guy reacts really badly to bug bites. I thought he may have grown out of it this year but no such luck. Weirdest part is the bite occurred way back in his hair above his ear. His whole side of his head swelled up and then spread to his eye. These pictures were taken at the end of day two. When he woke up in the morning he couldn't open it at all. Poor guy. Looks like the allergy medicine will be taking up permanent residence in the baby bag again this summer.

    Oh my goodness!!! I don't think I've ever seen that bad a reaction to mosquito bites before! Wow, that's insane! Does his whole head itch then from the one bite, too? Man, that's crazy! Does it lessen over the summer or do his reactions stay that way regardless of how many bites he gets? My one daughter starts off the summer getting fairly large welts (but NOTHING like this!), but by the end of summer, they're just small red bumps.

    i know its insane!
    this is the first bite of the season so we'll see if it lessons. last year he got the same reaction wherever he got bit. the worst was a deer fly bite on his hand.
    so far he hasn't complained of any itching. last year he just itched where the bite actually happened.
    we'll see what happens. i hate always having to medicate for it. although the "after bite" pens seemed to help a bit.

    i'm pretty sure it was a mosquito...

    and she can get in and out herself...surprisingly though she stays in when she's tired. i gate her door though so she can't get out when she does wake up.

    That is crazy... poor guy... Such a trooper!! Has he ever been tested to see if he is allergic to bees or anything that might warrant having an epi-pen.. that scares me..
    SHEESH!
