I was fixing Audrey's hair for school the Tuesday before Thanksgiving when i noticed bugs crawling in her hair. I really couldn't believe it but there was no doubt that we had our first case of head lice. I knew it was inevitable that she would get it at some point, especially being a girl with long hair. Just didn't expect her to get it as a two year old.
Unfortunately, I've had several friends who have gotten lice from their students and knew about The Lice Place. Whoever invented this is a genius (and probably a millionaire since it's $99/hour for treatment!)
She looks really unhappy in this picture but she was actually mesmorized by the movie that was playing. She chatted with the technician during the treatment. These ladies were amazing and I'm pretty sure I would not have been able to get her to sit still for 45 minutes at home.
The special comb wasn't picking up all the nits so the lady had to use tweezers to get all of them. I learned more about head lice than I ever cared to.
On a semi related note, Audrey has been having allergic reactions and breaking out in hives lately. One trip to the doctor and one to urgent care. As the lady was picking out the bugs, she mentioned that sometimes lice saliva can get into the bloodstream and cause reactions. If that doesn't make you want to barf, I don't know what will!
