Gracie is lame...

Gracie is allergic to mosquito bites (remember this post) Her body doesn't react to them well. It is just getting warm enough (barely) here that the every once in a while we see one or two (okay I haven't seen any, but David said he did). But apparently one found her. It bit her three times. Her foot has swelled up like a balloon. It looks worse than a nine month pregnant lady's feet. She can't (won't) walk. This picture doesn't show very well the bruise covering the whole top of her foot from toes to ankle. She keeps waking up in the night crying that it hurts. She hops into our bed and then rubs her foot on me like that is going to make it feel better. We keep giving her benedryl and putting hydrocortizone on it. We keep icing it and elevating it. Nothing is really helping. She is still lame. Mosquito's are even more lame.
