Last night we noticed Catriona has faint sort of bruising around her eyes (looks like she may just be tired, but it was all around the eye, rather than just under it). I certainly hadn't seen her bang her head or anything, and she seemed totally her normal happy self.
Any idea what this could be (it has faded now, but was very faint in the first place). Could it be where she bangs her face with her hand when she tries to get her thumb on her mouth? ------------- |

Unless she is slightly anaemic (low iron or similar) and the dark circles come up regularly when she is tired? Not a huge concern but worth checking with your GP at the next visit. -------------  |
