Allergic Reaction to something....

We went through our normal bedtime routine of bath, lotion, brush teeth, singular. This morning when Lynda came into the living room I was shocked. Her face was swollen and red. I am talking very bright deep red. So we washed her face off, gave her some Benadryl and then put on her steroid cream and wet wrapped her face for two hours.

Two hours later her face is still swollen and red. She is playing right now with her sister. We will be doing another two hour wet wrap session in a little bit. I hope we we can fight this off here at home.

I will post a picture of her later.

Earlier this week we have been fighting an eczema flare on both of her arms. That has seemed to calm down now.

I found a Lynda safe play clay recipe that I am going to share with you. We made this today and both girls are having fun! We will be making a batch to take to school since she can not play with Play Dough. If she does play with it she has to wear latex free gloves. That isn't as much fun as getting your hands in there.

1/2 cup Rice Flour
1/2 cup Corn Starch
1/2 cup Salt
2 teaspoon Cream of Tarter
1 cup Water
1 teaspoon Cooking Oil
1 teaspoon Food Coloring

Combine all ingredients in a pot and cook over low heat until it forms a ball. When cool enough to touch, pat gently until smooth. When completely cool,store in an airtight container.
