So I realize I post almost daily lately, but it is so therapeutic for me to write it out. Hayden woke up earlier than normal, so I went in to change her diaper only to discover a rash all over her body. She had a rash back in February that she got from her cousin Jett, but it was just a viral one. So I wondered if it was that, but thought I better call her pediatrician. So after talking to them I was told to bring her in yet again. That's right, I'm averaging 2 appointments a week right now and it is getting a little old and expensive.
The doctor examined her and it looks like Hayden is allergic to penicillin which they gave her for strep. I guess it is normal that she took it for 8 days and just broke out with a rash. I was told to stop the antibiotics as she has no signs of strep any longer and wait for the rash to go away. She said the rash typically lasts 7-10 days. If it doesn't go away, she gets a fever, or stops eating, I'm suppose to bring her back in again. At least I don't have to pay for a new antibiotic :)
I know that life could be much much worse and I am a big Debbie Downer once again, but really? Could things go right for a couple of weeks for us? Could we actually keep a little bit of money in our savings account? I feel really down today, so I've decided to make "brinner" tonight, that's breakfast for dinner. That's got to cheer us all up right?
One side note, last week a lady in my ward taught me how to make these cute hair bows or rings for me. It was so fun to learn and cheap!
