To make my week even more interesting, Kid #1 broke out with hives all over her legs last night. We figured she was finally having the break out from the Fifths Disease that Kid #2 brought home last week. Or so we thought... we were so wrong.
This morning she wakes up and she is covered.. I mean COVERED from head to toe with red whelps. I call Mom and ask if she can come over until I can get her over to the Dr's office. When I meet Mom at the Dr. her whelps had become blisters.
My child is allergic to Cephalosporin. This antibiotic is used to treat ear infections, which we had pretty regular up until she had tubes put in her ears. Now that one has come out, we are getting ear infections again. Since she is allergic to it, she is probably allergic to penicillin as well.
Keep the big girl in your prayers please. She is very uncomfortable right now. She has no fever and the only reaction she has had is the hives, I know it could be much worse than it is, but I really hate to see her suffer.
