So Sarah has had some strange bites of late, and i have been a tad perplexed as to what was biting her. i took her to a pediatric dermatologist, two weeks ago, who looked at them and said she wasn't sure what they are maybe bites from an insect, have some anti histamine and come back if you get new bites.
So i left it a week there were new bites but by Thursday (the day of the clinic) there were no new new ones (if you know what i mean.) i didn't want to be the paranoid parent that thinks her kid is sick when she just had mosquito bites....
Then last Saturday i noticed a new bite/or two that where under her arm....humm how on earth does a mosquito get under there....
She had lots of them around her nappy, but she's always been a tad allergic to things so i thought it was just the washing poweder or the new type of disposible i was using. But these under her arm made me worry a little. So i thought i'd take her this Thursaday. Then this morning...which happens to be my birthday, i found a row of bites on my shoulders...right where my darling had been sleeping....
This made me think of the dreaded S word (Essie at The accidental mommy) just posted (yesterday) about the dreaded L word...LICE...
Well the S word tops it and then sum!
What S word could be worst then lice, i mean thats gross right...well SCABIES IS WORST!!!
They are little bugs that craw under your skin...really under your skin, and itch like the worst itchy itch you've had..
So i take her, the dr looks again and asked does any one else have any bite, i show my shoulder she says ...oh its Scabies! nice huh. here have some stuff and a print out all about it (in chinese!!) can a friend translate that for you??? like yes just pop over to my mates and say, here can you look at this and tell me what it says (oh its not about me or anything don't be scared, stop don't run away!!!)
Need less to say this isn't the best birthday gift i have ever recieved! but you know i've had worst birthdays!

Ohhh Paula. I'm so sorry. This is not going to be a fun experience. Geesh.
Hoping you still manage to have a happy birthday!!!!
Paula, we had a breakout once at the daycare I work at. It was not fun. One of my kids got them. We had a creak we had to put on the family from head to toe right before bed. We washed all the bed clothes and then we were bug free! It grossed me out but it was easy to deal with.
OKAY YOU WIN!!!!
OH UGH ICK YOU POOR THING(S)!!!
AND YOUR BIRTHDAY TO TOP IT OFF (happy birthday!).
You win. You win like the next 5 in a row. Whatever they are.
