It was just an ordinary morning when Diem woke up and noticed something strange—her arms and legs were covered in small, red spots. At first, she thought maybe she had just scratched herself in her sleep, but as she looked closer, the spots seemed to be spreading. Confused and a little scared, Diem ran to her mother with wide eyes and trembling lips.
“Mommy, look! What’s happening to me?” she asked, holding out her little arms. Her mother’s heart sank as she saw the red marks dotting Diem’s skin. Without wasting a moment, she gently examined Diem and tried to stay calm, even though she was worried too. “Don’t worry, sweetheart,” she said softly, brushing Diem’s hair back. “Let’s get you cleaned up and see what’s going on.”
After a quick bath and changing into clean clothes, Diem was still feeling itchy and uncomfortable. Her mother decided it was best to visit the doctor, just to be safe. On the way there, Diem sat quietly, holding her mother’s hand, nervous about what the doctor might say.
At the clinic, the doctor gently checked Diem’s skin and asked a few questions about what she had eaten, where she had played, and if she had been bitten by anything. After a careful look, the doctor explained that the red spots were likely caused by an allergic reaction—possibly from something she touched or a bite from a tiny insect.
With a sigh of relief, Diem’s mom thanked the doctor, who prescribed a gentle cream and advised a few days of rest. Back at home, Diem was treated like a little princess. Her mom made her favorite soup, gave her cuddles, and even read her extra bedtime stories.
Though it was a scary experience at first, Diem learned to be more careful about where she played. The red spots slowly faded, but her bravery and her mom’s quick response made the whole situation a little less frightening—and reminded Diem how deeply she is loved and protected.
