    update on my niece.

    Ok well....
    She is still swollen. She seems to wake up with swollen eye's then they go down during the day. Supposedly the Dr said when she was in the hospital that they didn't think it was enviromental. I don't know? When I have allergies it sure seems to be worst in the morning and at night. It is all strange. My sis is not getting much rest. She worries constantly.
    I just wish this thing would resolve itself.
    Her cheeks have switched. I guess one was harder and more swollen in the hospital. Now the other one is and the bad one has gone down. Crazy stuff!
    Blessed are the flexible, for they shall not be bent out of shape.

    Brandi - once they've ruled out all of the nasty possiblilities (and I am hopeful that that's exactly what will happen) see if you can convince your sister to take her to a traditional Chinese medicine doctor. They can do an evaluation and help a lot with symptoms that don't seem to have an explanation in a Western Medicine framework. Especially allergies and weird stuff like this.

    waking up with swollen eyes. If its an alergy could it be the detergent? sleeping on a pillow...

    I use unsecented Arm and Hammer deterent because I can't stand the fragrance of most detergent. And I want hypo alergenic. A box of Arm and Hammer detergent is only about $5.00 so it can't hurt. Oh my washing machine has extra rinse cycle so I always have it on.

    Brandi, I was thinking allergy also. What about the fill of the pillow? I know I have trouble with duck feathers (but goose down seems fine).

    Still sending lots of butterflies to help figure this out and make the little sweetie all healthy again.

    Hugs, too

    The butterflies are within you.
