Big swollen blister

Yesterday evening picked up Isabelle from babysitter house. When I reach home and was trying to change her diaper, I notice on her left leg there is a huge red swollen path. It looks scary, the skin on the red patch was dry and it looks like as though she got a burn or something. The skin looks lacy. But it also looks like an insect bite but if it's really an insect bite, this bloody insect is really poisonous. Later the night I notice a blister popping out from that red swollen patch. In the beginning is just a small blister but towards mid-night when I check on her leg again, size of the blister grew bigger. This is so scary. The red swollen area has also spread and became bigger. This morning we quickly bring Isabelle to her pead. Paediatrician says it might be bacteria infection on her skin or it might be insect bite. She gave us an ointment to be applied on Isabelle's leg and also an antibiotic for her to drink so that internally it helps her to fight the bacteria and all.





I have been thinking very hard how Isabelle got her skin infected or even where did the insect come from. Isabelle has just recovered from her fever and throat ulcer a week ago and now she has got this skin problem. She has to go through so many sickness and challenges and she's only 3 months old. :(

Isabelle is sick again

Isabelle is down with fever the night before yesterday. This is her 2nd time fever. This time her fever lasted for 2 days. Thank god finally her fever is off today. But Isabelle was still very cranky and cries every time when we put her down. We had to take turns carry her so that she doesn't feel in pain. She had runny nose and she didn't want to take her milk. We took her to pead this morning and doctor found out that Isabelle has an ulcer at the back of her throat. Feels so sorry for Isabelle. He fell sick partly because of me. My cough and flu virus infected her. I really hope Isabelle will recover very soon. Really hate to see her in pain especially when she cries.
