Bigfoot Returns

Poor Sophie woke up with a big swollen left foot this morning. Apparently some horrible creature bit her in the middle of the night and her little foot was really swollen (to like twice the thickness of the other) and a little reddish when she awoke. We called the doctor's office and they suggested ice, calomine lotion, and trying to keep it elevated (yeah, right). It doesn't really look too much better tonight, so if it's not better in the morning, I'm going to have to take her to the doc. And we only have one vehicle tomorrow since my van is in the garage all day for new tires and a horrible scraping/creaking noise. Ugh. I just hope the swelling goes down overnight. We're going to try to elevate it for her when we go up to bed, but she's such a flip-flopper when she sleeps that I don't know how much it will help.
