She also had some moderate anemia, and we were not giving her vitamins because that was a huge battle. She has had them now every day for about a month.
She has made a great rebound and is eating really well these days. I hope these hives just go away. I am an absolute wreck over it! She is the most adorable kid in the world and I can't stand imagining anything big being wrong with her.
