This morning Sydney came out of her room with yet another bloody nose. This does not happen often, but does happen on occasion. However, nothing in the past has compared to this morning. From her nose to her mouth was completely blood stained. There was also blood from her nose back to her ear from lying on her side. Her pillow had two large blood stains, one the size of a large mango. Her comforter had four blood stains, two comparable to her pillow & two small. Her blankie was stained & her other pillow was stained.It took five minutes of pressure on her nose to get it to stop & when she sneezed I saw that her mouth was also filled with blood. Thankfully, none of this seems to concern her. However, the cause of the nose bleeds is starting to concern me. She is picking her nose & causing it to bleed. A few weeks ago I spoke to the doctor about it & she told me not to be concerned about how much it bleeds as the nose is very sensitive & will bleed quite easily if irritated. I tried to talk to Sydney this morning about not picking because look at how much it bled & all she could say was "my nose was crusty Mommy". I think I am going to have to start lubing her nose with Vaseline.
If I had to find a good thing about this morning, I learned that shampoo is very effective at getting rid of blood stains on cotton. Thank you Google.
