Kira's arm

It's a vascular inflammation which appears to be localised as there is no evidence of any bruising/rash anywhere else on her body, her liver, spleen, (and something else) were all fine.

The doctor rang last night to say that Kira's s blood test came back normal.


However, the kids got home from school about 4 pm yesterday and we got all excited because there was no further spreading of the bruising up the arm. Not that there was a lot of arm left for it to go up. About 1/2 hour later I noticed a red blotch on her arm below the first one (day 1). It was a bright orangey red, like a fresh bleed. About 1/2 our after that it looked the same as the previous 3.

Kira's
arm looks like this (each number is the day that the blotch appeared)
