From Sassy to Rashy!

Maddie was really feeling a little better from her strep, but then...

Dustin picked her up from school about 10 (she was crying not wanting to leave school because "they might learn something new") so she could get some rest and recover fully. He sent me a text right before lunch and said her rash was back. She had gotten a rash Tuesday afternoon on her ears and neck, but it went away with Benadryl. I called the pharmacy because the dr. office was already closed, and they seemed to think it was just from the strep. Wednesday it was MUCH worse! We went back to Waco to the dr. and he thought it was an allergic reaction to the penicillin. She is on a different antibiotic now for strep and Benadryl every 6 hours for the reaction.

Today is her very first day to miss a whole day of school!! She had perfect attendance in Pre-K and Kindergarten, but she won't have it this year. It makes me sad, but she needed a day to rest.
Children amaze me!!! She has strep throat, an allergic reaction causing a rash from HEAD to TOE (even on her scalp!) and she is still SMILING!!! You wouldn't have even known anything was wrong with her if you couldn't see the rash everywhere!


By the end of the day...


Her lips looked like she had on red lipstick.

She is feeling and looking much better today. She still has a little bit of the rash, but is up and playing like normal!
