Hives

Adah broke out in hives last night all over her body.  It was horrible in the knee/behind the legs/ankle regions and a little on her face.  She was up until 11:30.  She wasn't falling asleep even though Kez already had and started crying around 10.  Brian went up and she said her knee itched.  He pulled the covers up and told her to go to sleep but a couple minutes later she cried again.  I went up there to investigate a little more and after taking her into the bathroom and turning on the lights I discovered she was bright red and covered in bumps that looked like bee stings.  I gave her benadryl and put calamine lotion all over it.  She had strawberries with her lunch and a pb&j sandwich (with homemade strawberry jam no less).  We aren't sure otherwise what would have caused it. When she woke up this morning she was completely normal.  I think we will stay away from the strawberries for a while!
