Poison Ivy

This has been an unusual week. H's poison ivy was a major distraction to her Monday. Tuesday morning I found an email from a friend that suggested trying hot water to help with the itching. So she took 3 showers/baths that day.

Wednesday morning we were late for her art class due to more itching issues. Her art teacher suggested Zan**fel which is available over the counter. So off we went to our usual store for a rather expensive purchase. It was worth it though! I helped her "scrub" with it yesterday afternoon. She had very little itching the rest of the day. She even went to church and felt good.

This morning, she looked soooooooooo much better! There were still a few places that itched so we "scrubbed" again. It was a rather un-itchy day for her. Her face has not itched at all. She did take some Ben*dr*l at bedtime both nights. I think when she is still, she starts thinking about it more. But it has cleared up quite a bit just since yesterday so for that we are thankful. Thank you for all the prayers and encouraging emails.

I have not taken any photos because she does not like seeing it on her. Her right eye was almost swollen closed when she woke up Tuesday morning. Now there are not even any blisters that are noticeable on her face.
