The Kiddo is Hangin' In

Saturday morning, Lauren came out of her room and said her upper lip was swollen. It didn't even look swollen at all at the time. By late Saturday night, she was in the ER with very swollen lips and some sores inside her mouth. She was diagnosed as having an allergic reaction, probably to a medicine she's been taking. They eventually sent her home and told us to keep an eye on her and watch for worsening, or a skin rash, which would be something they would have to treat at the hospital with IV drugs.

Sunday morning, she woke up with her whole mouth and tongue very swollen and everything covered in painful mouth sores. :(

Now we're still in watch and wait mode. It seems to be fairly stable, and she's scheduled to see her doctor tomorrow afternoon. Meanwhile, she's taking Vicodin for extreme pain. Luckily it's working...
