I was really worried because she said that her arm felt shaky like it was nervous and later on she said that her hand felt like it was asleep. Last night the spot was red like she had just been bit and it hurt to rub your finger gently over it. Today the redness was gone but it was really tender to touch.

She had something similiar to this a while back on her leg and we really kept watch on it. What ever it is she sure has a reaction to it. Last time she had it she didn't feel well for a couple of days and today was the same way.

I think that I'm going to have my husband spray the whole house, not that we're buggy but just to get rid of what ever it is.
I just read your post...How is your daughter doing today? I think I remember you posting about her leg..(you did right?) Have you ever had her tested for allergies? Maybe she is allergic to something that keeps biting her...My heart goes out to you...I hate it when my kids get sick...My girls are older but I still worry about them a much, if not more, than I did when they were little.....I hope she feels better soon.
